Experiments are accompanied by appropriate multiphysics simulations, through the most powerful computer system in Greece for scientific applications ARIS (Advanced Research Information System).
Research Areas
a) Laser Machining/manufacturing
This research focuses on the study of laser-based machining processes through the investigation of laser-material interactions from the thermoelastic regime to melting and material removal.
b) Simulations of laser interaction with matter (transition from solid to plasma phase, generation/propagation of acoustic waves, laser induced periodic structures)
c) Modeling of Z-Pinch and X-Pinch plasma dynamics through multiphysics simulations (transition from solid to plasma phase, plasma instabilities, evolution of jets)
d) Simulations of optical shaping targets and proton acceleration
e) Simulations of laser wakefield electron acceleration
f) Simulations of vibroacoustic problems
g) Vibrational study of crustalline undulators and acoustic waves generation
