Vikram Dharodi

Vikram Dharodi is a Researcher in the Plasma & Space Physics department at West Virginia University (WVU), affiliated with the Scime Group. His research focuses on dusty plasmas, ultra-cold plasmas, and magnetic reconnection phenomena. Key interests include plasma dynamics, shear instabilities, and coherent structure propagation in strongly coupled plasmas.

Recent work includes studies on Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, vortex merging, and gravity-driven instabilities in dusty plasmas. He has contributed to numerical simulations of visco-elastic fluid models and explored plasma interactions via particle-in-cell methods. Collaborations include institutions like Michigan State University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

Publications emphasize plasma physics applications, with notable contributions to understanding plasma behavior under rotational shear flows and compressible dust dynamics. His work bridges theoretical models with experimental validations, advancing plasma turbulence and transport studies.
