Felipe Veloso

My research focuses on plasma physics under extreme conditions and its applications. I work in high energy density physics (HEDP), particularly on Z-pinch experiments in our pulsed power generators (Llampudken and Gepopu) and laser-produced plasmas. These experiments explore plasma formation, emission, and shock processes relevant to laboratory astrophysics, nuclear fusion, and other fields. These studies seek to reproduce and understand phenomena present in extreme pressure and temperature environments, using advanced plasma diagnostics in controlled laboratory experiments.

In parallel, I conduct research on non-thermal plasmas, exploring their interactions with liquids for various applications. This line of research combines experimental physics with an interdisciplinary approach, opening up opportunities to transfer knowledge from plasma physics to address common challenges across disciplines and industries.

Currently, I also serve as Academic Director of the Ciencia2030-UC project.
