Atsushi Sunahara studies laser-produced plasmas, focusing on how lasers interact with tin and other materials to generate extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light used in semiconductor chip manufacturing, as well as laser-driven fusion energy research. This work combines plasma physics, laser technology, and computer simulations to understand and optimize how these high-energy plasmas emit light or drive fusion reactions.
