H. J. Quevedo

Interested in high intensity laser-plasma interactions, fusion plasmas, flowing magnetized plasmas, astrophysical plasmas, and pulsed power Actively collaborate in experiments being carried at the Texas Petawatt laser, currently scientist in charge of its target area Research in magnetized (50 T) high energy density plasmas in collaboration with Sandia National Laboratories Neutron generation from fusion plasmas from laser-cluster interactions Shock experiments of different aluminum alloys at Sandia National Laboratories using Z-Beamlet and in silicon using the THOR laser Design and construct the GHOST laser target area and THOR laser upgrade target area with XUV beamline Set up and run Magneto Bernoulli Experiment (MBX) to study low density rotating plasmas towards possible self-organized states Study numerically the ion cyclotron waves kinetic dispersion relationship in thermally anisotropic solar wind from the Sun to the Earth
