Scholar-generated biography
Eric Sonnendrucker is a researcher specializing in numerical methods for solving partial differential equations, particularly in the context of plasma physics. His work focuses on the Vlasov equation, which describes the evolution of plasma distribution functions in phase space. He has developed and analyzed semi-Lagrangian schemes, which are conservative and efficient for solving the Vlasov equation. Additionally, he has contributed to the simulation of plasma turbulence, electromagnetic wave propagation, and gyrokinetic models. His research includes the development of particle-in-cell (PIC) methods and the study of global electromagnetic gyrokinetic simulations. Sonnendrucker's work also addresses the numerical resolution of Maxwell equations and the behavior of plasma under strong external magnetic fields.
