My main research interest is the study of high energy density physics (HEDP) in the laboratory and its applications to nuclear fusion and laboratory astrophysics. HEDP is the state of matter and radiation under extreme conditions, where energy density is larger 1e11J/m^3 or pressures over 1Mbar. I am also interested in how we can produce these regimes in the laboratory (e.g. using pulsed power or lasers) and how we can diagnose them.
