The Department of Electromagnetics and Plasma Physics is part of the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. We conduct research and education within the fields of electromagnetic theory, physical and technical design of electrical devices, fusion and, space and plasma physics.
Research areas
Fusion
Research in the area of fusion energy is focused on confinement physics, plasma control, computational methods, plasma heating and plasma-wall interaction.
The research is mainly on high frequency electromagnetics, including antennas, microwave devices, metamaterials, electromagnetic interference, physical bounds, and inverse problems.
Our research areas cover space, fusion, laboratory, and fundamental plasma physics. We study physical processes in the ionospheres and magnetospheres of Earth and other planets, solar wind, space around comets, and planetary moons. We contribute hardware to international and national space missions, both spacecraft and rockets. We study the physics of plasma-wall interaction in fusion plasma devices, magnetron sputtering and other applied plasma physics topics.
