UNRAVELLING THE DYNAMICS AND CHEMICAL KINETICS OF NON-EQUILIBRIUM, MIXED-GAS HYDROGEN PLASMAS

在进入约克大学之前，我在伦敦帝国理工学院完成了硕士学位。我的研究项目涉及为Cerberus和Chimera激光系统开发用于激光光束校正的室内可变形反射镜。我的博士研究将结合对非平衡氢等离子体的实验和模拟，在非平衡氢等离子体中，与离子和中性相比，电子具有相对较高的能量，研究当种子气体混合时它们的动力学和化学动力学，并研究在这个具有挑战性的区域内加强它们控制的策略。这个项目的结果将通过我们对与偏滤器相关的非平衡等离子体物理的更好的理解，为聚变科学和技术的发展提供帮助。这些发现也适用于不同的非平衡等离子体应用，包括例如纳米级材料加工和卫星推进。

Before joining the University of York, I completed my MSc at Imperial College London. My research project involved developing in house deformable mirrors for laser beam correction for the Cerberus and Chimera laser systems.My PhD research will combine experiments and simulations on a non-equilibrium hydrogen plasma, where electrons are relatively energetic compared to ions and neutrals, investigating their dynamics and chemical kinetics when seed gases are admixed, and investigate strategies for enhancing their control within this challenging regime. The results of this project will feed into the development of fusion science and technology via our improved understanding of non-equilibrium plasma physics relevant to the divertor. The findings are also applicable to distinct non-equilibrium plasma applications including, for example, nanoscale materials processing and satellite propulsion.
