Plasma Physics

Scientific Leader: Dr. John Verboncoeur

Theoretical and computational plasma physics, with a broad range of applications spanning from low temperature plasmas for lighting, thrusters and materials processing to hot plasmas for fusion; from ultra-cold plasmas to particle accelerators; from beams to pulsed power; and from intense kinetic nonequilibrium plasmas to high power microwaves.

Scientific Leader: Dr. Michael Murillo

Our group is involved in the two seemingly disparate research directions of computational plasma physics and agent-based modeling. In both cases, we employ computational methods for interacting many-body systems to understand the collective dynamics of the systems we study.

Scientific Leader: Dr. Min Chen

MSU Computational Seismology Lab works on analyzing, numerical modeling, and full waveform inversion of seismic array data from various sources, such as earthquakes, explosions, and ambient noise sources. Our goal is to better understand dynamic processes of the Earth on different time and spatial scales.

Scientific Leader: Dr. Arjun Krishnan

The Krishnan lab develops genomics/computational approaches to gain more nuanced and accurate insights into how our genome relates to health and disease. Combining statistics/machine-learning with large-scale genomic/clinical data, we build models and predictions about the genetic basis of biomedical phenomena, especially in an age-, sex-, and tissue-specific manner. Our overarching goal is to use these methods and insights to transform our ability to link an individual's genomic profiles to her/his physiological traits, disease risks, and clinical outcomes.

Scientific Leader: Dr. Mohsen Zayernouri

The overarching theme of research in Fractional Mathematics for Anomalous Transport and Hydromechanics (FMATH) Group is to bring to bear advanced computational tools from applied mathematics and data sciences to develop multi-fidelity and predictive simulation and learning tools for challenging problems, including: stochastic Lévy processes in turbulent flows, shock and interface problems in reacting and multi-phase flows, anomalous transport in porous and disordered materials, sub-/super-diffusion processes in the human brain, and complex bio-materials and tissue engineering. The main thrust of research in FMATH is on fractional-order modeling, numerical analysis (FEM, spectral methods, and spectral element methods), computational fluid dynamics, data-driven and learning algorithms for fractional PDEs, stochastic PDEs, and high performance computing.

Scientific Leader: Dr. Matthew Hirn

The CEDAR team works at the interface of harmonic analysis and machine learning. We develop tools that uncover complex, multiscale patterns in high dimensional data by considering the underlying data geometries, invariants, hierarchies and statistics. Our focus is on rigorous mathematical theory coupled with state of the art numerical results in application specific domains. Research areas include:

• Wavelet theory and deep learning (scattering transforms)
• Diffusion based manifold learning 
• Smooth (Whitney) extensions and interpolations of data
• Many body problems in quantum chemistry
• Analysis of bio-medical data 

The Murillo Group has recently released a new paper published by The Journal of Statistical Physics on August, 2017 about Conservative, Entropic Multispecies BGK Model.
