Alejandro Alvarez Laguna has been recruited as Researcher by the CNRS to work in the low-temperature plasma team at the LPP

Toutes les versions de cet article : [English] [français]

Alejandro is Aeronautical Engineer from the Polytechnic University of Madrid and studied the Research Master in Fluid Dynamics at the von Karman Institute in Belgium. After working at NASA’s Advanced Supercomputing Division, he conducted his PhD research in collaboration between the KU Leuven University, the VKI, and NASA Ames Research Center. After obtaining his PhD, he joined the Ecole Polytechnique to work as a post-doctoral fellow at the LPP in collaboration with the CMAP.

His research work mainly focuses on the numerical simulation of reacting plasmas in the presence of magnetic fields. Particularly, he is interested in modeling these plasmas at low pressure through fluid models that take into account strongly non-equilibrium conditions. Additionally, an important part of his work has shown the importance of proposing novel numerical schemes specifically conceived for plasmas in multi-scale multi-physics simulations.

His works have led to 12 journal publications and 8 invited talks as well as have been awarded with the Silver Medal in the ERCOFTAC Leonardo da Vinci Award for Europe’s best PhD thesis in Applied Fluid Dynamics and the best presentation award at the VKI PhD Symposium.

Alejandro joins the LPP to study plasmas for electric propulsion, in particular, Hall thrusters and PEGASES.
