Allen L. Garner's research focuses on the physics of electron emission and space-charge-limited current in vacuum and plasma devices, including crossed-field amplifiers and nanoscale electron emitters. This work combines theoretical modeling, simulations, and experiments to understand how electrons flow and are limited by charge buildup in various device geometries, with applications to vacuum electronics, radiation shielding, and bioelectric sensing. The group also applies related physics concepts to topics like dielectric spectroscopy of biological cells and microbial inactivation.
Publication output grew substantially from 2017 through a peak around 2021-2022, then has declined in more recent years (2023-2026), though the 2026 figure may be incomplete due to forward-dated entries.
