My
research group studies instability, turbulence, and transport in laboratory and
space plasmas. First-principles massively parallel simulations (using GTC code)
and associated theory have led to physics discovery in turbulence
self-regulation by zonal flows, transport scaling, and wave-particle decorrelation in plasma turbulence. I am leading a
multi-institutional U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) SciDAC project (GSEP
Center) in support of burning plasma experiment ITER, the crucial
next step in the quest for fusion energy.
