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. His research also includes divergence correction techniques for Maxwell solvers and the application of geometric particle-in-cell methods for electromagnetic simulations. Additionally, he has contributed to the study of gyrokinetic models for plasma turbulence and the long-time behavior of the Vlasov equation under strong magnetic fields.
