High-fidelity continuum kinetic simulations – a frontier in plasma modeling

SPEAKER: Genia Vogman Computational Scientist DATE/TIME: FRI, 01/27/2018 – 3:00PM TO 4:00PM LOCATION: 3105 ETCHEVERRY HALL Abstract: Plasma, the fourth state of matter, is an important medium in space physics and fusion energy applications. Its unique multi-scale properties give rise to complex behavior that is difficult to predict. In regimes where plasma particles collide infrequently,…

Planetary nuclear spectroscopy

SPEAKER: Mauricio Ayllon Unzueta NASA Postdoctoral Fellow (NPP) DATE/TIME: FRI, 01/19/2023 – 3:00PM TO 4:00PM LOCATION: 3105 ETCHEVERRY HALL Spring 2023 Colloquium Series Abstract: Planetary nuclear spectroscopy is a blanket term used to describe gamma ray and neutron spectroscopy of planetary surfaces. Spectrometers of this kind are able to measure the bulk elemental composition of…
