My research focuses on the physics of magnetized high-energy-density plasmas, particularly for applications to plasma astrophysics and magneto-inertial fusion. I am currently working on several projects, including characterizing the self-generation of magnetic fields in ICF implosions, measuring anisotropic particle heating in magnetized collisionless shocks, investigating the stability of laser-driven magnetic reconnection layers, and studying differentially rotating plasmas in the laboratory.
