Han Wen

Dr. Han Wen is a Plasma Physicist at Laboratory for Laser Energetics. His research interests include theoretical analysis and numerical modeling of laser–plasma interactions relevant to inertial confinement fusion, studying kinetic effects in high-energy-density physics using large-scale simulations and developing simulation software for emerging computing architectures and leadership-class clusters. He received a B.S. degree in applied physics in 2009 from the University of Science and Technology of China and a Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2016 from the University of Rochester. He worked in the Particle-in-Cell and Kinetic Simulation Software Center at the University of California, Los Angeles as a postdoctoral fellow between 2016 and 2019. He joined the Theoretical Plasma Group at University of Rochester, Laboratory for Laser Energetics in 2019.
