Jinwen Cao's research focuses on plasma physics and fluid dynamics for engineering applications, including CO2 conversion using electrical discharges, metal droplet behavior for 3D printing and manufacturing, spacecraft propulsion systems, and high-density rocket fuels. The work combines experimental measurements and numerical simulations to study how plasmas, gases, and liquid metals behave under extreme conditions such as vacuum, high temperature, and strong electric or magnetic fields.
