Dong Wu

Dong Wu is a faculty member in the School of Physics and Astronomy at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He is affiliated with the Institute of Laser Plasma Physics and works in the field of inertial confinement fusion and high-energy-density physics. Wu holds a Ph.D. in plasma physics from Peking University and completed a doctoral exchange program at the University of California, San Diego. He has held various research positions, including a postdoctoral fellowship at the Helmholtz Institute in Jena, Germany, and has been associated with the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Currently, he is an associate professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

Dong Wu is an assistant research scientist at the Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, focusing on plasma and atomic processes in relativistically intense laser/beam-solid interactions and direct laser acceleration. His research explores mechanisms such as radiation pressure acceleration, laser propagation in dense magnetized plasmas, and the generation of high-energy ion beams. Wu's work also investigates instabilities like the Rayleigh-Taylor-like instability and the role of pre-plasmas in electron heating. His studies employ advanced computational methods, including particle-in-cell simulations, to model complex interactions in extreme conditions. These efforts contribute to understanding and controlling high-energy particle acceleration and radiation sources in laser-matter interactions.
