Alexey Shashurin's research centers on plasma physics for aerospace applications, particularly the design and testing of pulsed plasma thrusters used to propel small satellites, as well as advanced diagnostic techniques for measuring properties of plasmas (ionized gases). His work combines experimental thruster development with methods like microwave scattering and laser-based ionization to characterize electron behavior and plasma composition in both propulsion systems and general gas discharges.
