The HEDP Group at UCLA is engaged in experimental plasma physics research specializing in high-energy lasers. With access to the PHOENIX Laser Lab and the Large Plasma Device (LAPD), the group investigates fundamental problems in modern plasma physics using innovative techniques. They have reported significant findings, such as the formation and structure of magnetized collisionless shocks generated by laser-driven mechanisms. Their research interests also include the study of ultra-low frequency waves produced by current filaments in laser-produced plasmas. The group's work not only contributes to laboratory settings but also connects to astrophysical phenomena, providing insights into cosmic magnetized collisionless shocks. The collaboration with the Center for Matter under Extreme Conditions emphasizes their commitment to addressing the challenges in understanding matter under extreme pressures. Graduate and undergraduate students are trained in experimental design and data analysis, facilitating hands-on experience in the field.
