معرفی
Dr. Suxing Hu is a Distinguished Scientist and Group Leader of the High-Energy-Density Physics (HEDP) Theory Group at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics (LLE), University of Rochester. He holds joint professorships in Physics (Research) and Mechanical Engineering (Research) at the same institution. His research focuses on understanding matter under extreme conditions, including inertial confinement fusion (ICF), planetary science, and astrophysics.
Dr. Hu earned his PhD in physics from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics) and held postdoctoral positions at the University of Freiburg, Max-Born-Institute (Berlin), University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and Los Alamos National Laboratory. His career milestones include promotions to Senior Scientist (2013) and Distinguished Scientist (2019) at LLE.
His research interests span
- High-Energy-Density Physics (HEDP), including equation-of-state modeling and quantum simulations,
- Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) target design and hydrodynamics,
- Ultrafast Attosecond Physics involving laser-matter interactions,
- Computational methods like time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and machine learning for materials modeling.
Notable awards include the Hundred Outstanding Doctorate Thesis Prize (China), Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship, and APS Fellow (2013). His work has led to over 250 publications, ~10,000 citations, and an H-index of 54.
Key projects involve developing physics-informed machine learning models, advancing radiation-hydrodynamics codes, and studying quantum effects in warm dense matter. His group collaborates on experiments at the National Ignition Facility, focusing on achieving fusion ignition and mitigating instabilities in ICF targets.
