I am currently working in novel area of mathematical modelling and control of the Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) process which is a promising new method for depositing thin films for a variety of uses including fabrication of high quality crystalline films and deposition of ceramic oxides, nitride films and metallic multilayers.

I am developing simulation for the adiabatic expansion of laser generated plasma in the presence of external magnetic field.The ultimate aim of this simulation is to control the entire process for uniform deposition of target material on substrate.

I started my work by understanding the algorithm of PIC (particle in cell) method for solving PDE (Poisson equation). After that, I studied the feasibility of Monte Carlo method, a probabilistic approach for collision between plasma particles.

Currently I am concentrating on development of algorithm using Magneto Hydrodynamics (MHD) equations for simulation of plasma expansion. Now a days I am learning Riemann Problem. Broadly following key approaches are involved-

• Numerical Methods: Riemann Problem, MUSCL, finite volume method, finite difference method, Boundary Condition (Neuman, Drichlet), Lagrangian and Eulerian mesh moving,predictor corrector method, front tracking.
