Research:
W is a sub-contractor on a 15-month grant that the Department of Energy recently awarded to Princeton University’s Plasma Physics Laboratory. Prof. Michael Keidar (MAE) is GW’s principal investigator on the $500,000 grant for the project “Simulation of Arc Plasma for Synthesis of Nanoparticles.” GW’s team will focus on developing the kinetic modeling for material ablation. The GW portion of the grant is $60,000.
