Research summary

Adam M. Darr works on pulsed power engineering and plasma physics, focusing on how high-current electron and ion flows behave inside large experimental devices used to generate intense radiation and particle beams. Much of the work involves modeling and characterizing 'magnetically insulated transmission lines' (specialized components that guide huge electrical currents while containing charged particles with magnetic fields) on large research machines like HERMES-III and Z. This is highly technical, applied physics/engineering research relevant to high-power pulsed electrical systems and radiation sources.
