The Princeton Low Temperature Plasma (LTP) Modeling Group at the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) conducts research in plasma physics to advance technologies critical to energy, microelectronics, nanomaterial synthesis, and space. 

The group develops predictive models and theoretical tools for plasma processes used in semiconductor and quantum device fabrication, electric grid systems, and spacecraft propulsion. They also study beam-plasma interactions to better understand energy transfer and instabilities. Additional work focuses on modeling plasma reactors for synthesizing nano-materials like two-dimensional (2D) materials, graphene and nanodiamonds, using non-equilibrium plasma modeling and quantum chemistry. Through integrated theory, simulation, validation, combined with modern data-driven and machine learning methods, the group helps shape the future of plasma-based technologies.
