The Department of the Air Force, through the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800), awarded a $111,773 project grant to The Leland Stanford Junior University on January 1, 2025. The grant supports the "INVESTIGATION OF WAVEFORM AND CIRCUIT EFFECTS ON RF-DRIVEN PLASMAS USING FLUID AND KINETIC MODELS" research project, which will be conducted over a 3-year period ending on December 31, 2027. As a leading research institution, Stanford University will leverage its expertise in areas such as engineering, physics, and materials science to investigate the effects of waveform and circuit characteristics on radio frequency-driven plasmas using both fluid and kinetic modeling approaches. The findings from this research are expected to contribute to the Air Force's efforts to maintain technological superiority and prevent technological surprise in scientific domains relevant to its needs.
