Petros Tzeferacos

Ehsan Hoque, William Renninger, and Petros Tzeferacos have been named Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) recipients.

The Flash Center—devoted to computer simulations to advance understanding of astrophysics, plasma science, high-energy-density physics, and fusion energy—has moved from the University of Chicago to Rochester.

Petros Tzeferacos, an associate professor of physics and astronomy and a senior scientist at LLE, and colleagues from Chicago and Oxford have replicated in a laboratory setting conditions that exist within galaxy clusters.

Researchers at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics have captured for the first time in a laboratory setting the process thought to be responsible for generating and sustaining astrophysical magnetic fields.

Two awards from the Department of Energy will help Rochester scientists work to develop timely, commercially viable fusion energy.
