Applied Mathematics and Plasma Physics

Developing computational methods for applied energy and plasma physics

We maintain mathematic, theory, modeling, and simulation capabilities in a broad set of areas

The Applied Mathematics and Plasma Physics group within T-Division conducts research across a wide variety of topics, including:

  • applied mathematics
  • space plasma science
  • fusion science
  • computational imaging
  • optimization and control
  • environmental sciences, and
  • modeling of critical energy infrastructure (gas pipelines and electrical grids)

These application areas are tied together by research in novel algorithms, numerical methods, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.

Capabilities
