As a professor in the department of physics at the University of California San Diego, Dubin researches theoretical plasma physics, with an emphasis on nonneutral plasmas. The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory has won a $12.25 million grant from the Department of Energy to develop computer codes to simulate a key component of the plasma that fuels fusion energy.

He employs techniques drawn from a range of disciplines including plasma physics, statistical mechanics, nonlinear dynamics, computer simulation and quantum mechanics. Starting from The concepts of plasma description by magnetohydrodynamics, kinetic theory, and particle simulation are stepwise introduced. I develop scientific instruments that measure plasma turbulence in the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) at the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab (PPPL). PIC simulations are used extensively in plasma physics to model the motion of the charged particles, and the electromagnetic interactions between them, that make up ionized matter. Plasma Physics gives a comprehensive introduction to the basic processes in plasmas and demonstrates that the same fundamental concepts describe cold gas-discharge plasmas, space plasmas, and hot fusion plasmas. Computer simulations shed light on how immune cells identify foreign antigens. I presently work on a spectroscopic imaging system In addition, I analyze data from experiments with scientific programming languages like Matlab or IDL, and I perform large computer simulations of plasma turbulence that run for several days on several dozen processors. Note: This seminar will be given at 3 p.m.. High performance computers such as Sequoia enable By increasing the number of cores for a relatively small problem of fixed size, what computer scientists call "strong scaling," OSIRIS obtained 75 percent efficiency on the full machine. Space charge effects in sheath regions, double layers and plasma diodes are given the necessary attention. They constantly interact with their surroundings, taking in cues on when to divide and where to anchor themselves, among other critical tasks. This eruption hurled Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) into space, but considering the location of eruption, the plasma cloud was directed away from Earth.
