R. L. Daskalova works in experimental plasma physics, focusing on how high-power (petawatt-class) lasers interact with solid materials to create extreme conditions such as strong shock waves and accelerated ion beams. Much of this work involves designing specialized targets, including structured surfaces and liquid crystal targets, to improve laser-driven ion acceleration. This research is relevant to fields like inertial confinement fusion, high-energy-density physics, and compact particle accelerator development.
