In this project, I aim to clarify how turbulence is excited in the hot plasma of the intracluster medium (ICM) using large-scale cosmological simulations. There is however a fundamental issue: since...

In this pet-project I taught myself CUDA programming by porting an existing pseudo-spectral code (Snoopy, which I used extensively in my PhD) to GPUs. I called this code Spooky, because it’s spectral...

The hot and dilute intracluster medium (ICM) in galaxy clusters is a rather interesting plasma, from a physical point of view. First of all, it is weakly collisional, which means that ions and...

In this project I derived a new model for neutrino-plasma interactions in an expanding universe that incorporates the collective effects of the neutrinos. This project was something of a spin-off of...

The intracluster medium of galaxy clusters (ICM) is a hot and dilute plasma which comprises a substantial fraction of the total mass of the cluster (about 15%, several times more than the mass...

In this project, which I undertook as a Master student at the Swiss Plasma Center, EPFL, I derived an analytical model to describe the physics of the scrape-off layer of fusion devices (tokamaks)...
