Our group is working on widely broadened research spectrum focusing the plasma physics as major part of the project. There are two research axes; Axis 1) fusion plasma for production of nuclear fusion energy and Axis 2) non-linear plasma physics for application of plasma space propulsion and medical plasma source, combining both experimental and numerical methodologies using supercomputers towards the investigation and application of fundamental theoretical physical principles.
