- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) supports a joint research effort between the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the University of Texas at Austin. The $1,031,843 award, effective from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, aims to study the underlying physics of how a plasma responds to energy inputs and develop techniques to actively control the evolution of the plasma state and energy flow. The...
- This $399,924 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support research to study the wavelength dependence of plasma collision dynamics and ionization mechanisms in laser-solid matter interactions. The primary awardee, The Research Foundation for the State University of New York, will experimentally and theoretically investigate how the driving laser's wavelength, intensity, and pulse duration impact...
- This $640,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) is funding research at the University of Michigan to explore the use of plasma waves to generate high-intensity, tunable light sources. The goal is to study how plasma can be used as an optical medium to 'upshift' laser light to shorter, extreme ultraviolet (XUV) wavelengths with relativistic intensities. This could enable compact, high-power light...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $236,075 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to Texas Tech University System to support a collaborative research project led by Casey O'Brien and William Schneider. The project aims to (1) clarify the mechanisms by which atmospheric pressure plasmas couple with solid surfaces to access and stabilize metastable nitrogen species, and (2) explore the potential to exploit these metastable states to drive...
