We research pulsed power, the ultimate advanced control mechanism of electrical energy, through: 1) the development of pulsed power energy source, 2) characterization of phenomena (such as high electric field, high current, rapid heating, free radical formation, shock wave etc.) in gases, liquids, solids and organisms, 3) develop applications for these phenomena, and 4) industrialize these applications, to complete the chain from basic research to practical uses. We believe there are still enormous potentials in pulsed power technology that remain untapped, and we look forward to taking on these challenges with you.
