研究方向

Professor Liu Chen has made original contributions in basic plasma physics, fusion, and space physics. His seminal works (12 papers with more than 100 citations and more than 5,700 total citations according to SCI) include the discoveries of kinetic Alfvén waves, toroidal Alfvén eigenmode modes, and energetic particle modes; the theories of geomagnetic pulsations, Alfvén wave heating, and fishbone oscillations; the first formulation of nonlinear gyrokinetic equations; and the fundamental contributions to drift wave instabilities and turbulence. Prof. Chen received the APS Award for Excellence in Plasma Physics Research in 2004 “For the Theoretical Discovery and Experimental Identification of Toroidicity Induced Alfven Eigenmodes”. He also received the European Physical Society (EPS) the 2008 Hannes Alfven Prize “for his many seminalworks on Alfvén wave physics in both laboratory and space plasmas, for his continuing contribution of new ideas which have fostered creativity and promoted cross-fertilization in both these areas of research, and for his fundamental contributions in educating a new generation of researchers for which he is an example to emulate”. Prof. Chen has supervised many prominent Ph.D students including T.S. Hahm, H. Biglari, A. A. Chan, F. Zonca, G. Vetoulis, and G. Zhao, and postdocs including R.A. Santoro, G. Hu, L.J. Zheng, S. Dettrick, W. Wang, S. Hu, C. Crabtree, and A. Bierwage. They have established a school of thoughts that has been shaping a generation of theoretical plasma physicists.
