Summary of Current Research Interests
My research group and I conduct basic and applied research in
(1) nanosecond to sub-nanosecond pulsed power generation,
(2) bioelectrics and biophysics, including translational medical devices
(3) transient plasma, for energy, combustion, and biomedical applications
(4) education, through a novel approach involving popular media
(5) other areas; agriculture, wine production, and other applications of pulsed power
These research activities
are carried on through a
wonderful
collaborative
group. It is really their
accomplishments
that
appear in journal articles,
and
at
conferences.
Summaries of current group
activities may be found on

Senior people in the group include Tom Vernier, Andy Kuthi, Chunqi Jiang and Dan
Singleton. Additional recent research collaborations, with colleagues outside of USC, include
(combustion) Stanford, U. Cincinnati, Naval Postgraduate School, Wright-Patterson AFRL,
Nissan Research Laboratories; (biomedical engineering and medicine) Cedars-Sinai, UCLA,
DeBakey Inst., U.C. Davis, U. Lund (Sweden), Ecole Polytechnique (Paris), and others.
Research funding is currently from the ONR through an STTR, the AFOSR through another
STTR, two other AFOSR grants (pulsed power, and combustion), the Alfred Mann Institute,
and the TCC Shipping Company.
Nanosecond pulsed power, distinct from traditional power electronics, is an enabling element
of this activity. Research focuses on advanced pulsed power architectures, generating nsec
pulses with high voltage, and low output impedance, and with optimal efficiencies.
By focusing on the applications of high peak-power, we employ nanosecond pulses to elicit
non-equilibrium responses in widely-varying applications. The research addresses the
underlying science of material responses to applied electric pulses in a new domain in which the
pulses are too short for normal equilibrium dynamics to occur. Considerable recent work has
been directed towards innovation in pulse generation for nanosecond, and sub-nanosecond
pulses with high voltage output.
Specific potential benefits with broad impact include bioelectrics, by selective induction of
programmed cell death in diseased tissue, similar to research underway at ODU, and energy,
through advancing low-emission, highly efficient combustion for a wide variety of engines.
Bioelectrics: A basic understanding of the responses of biological cellular and intracellular
processes to intense fields, using simulations at the level of molecular dynamics and extensive
collaborative in vitro and in vivo studies, is opening a challenging research area of high
intellectual value. In medicine, the technology developed and knowledge gained in the field of
bioelectrics will have potential benefits that include the ability to selectively induce
programmed cell death in diseased tissue relative to healthy tissue. The group is also conducting
research into cold plasma, lead by Prof. Chunqi Jiang. This work has applications in dentistry,
sterilization and medicine. A significant effort supported by the AMI is developing a system to
deliver nanoelectropulses as a skin cancer therapy.
Energy and combustion: Goals include developing
basic understanding of the formative phase of plasma and
its interactions with fuels. Non-equilibrium plasma in the
transient, formative phase of an arc, applied to ignition
and combustion (transient plasma ignition or TPI) has
several advantages and has consistently demonstrated
reductions in ignition delay, improved lean-burn,
resulting in improved efficiency and reduced emissions
from a variety of airborne engines and internal
combustion engines. In transportation, technology has potential benefits that include leaner
burning engines and reduces emissions.
Education: This research involves a novel approach to education. We are exploring the
potential for transformative informal science education through film and television. This work
fosters interactions between many different professional disciplines that exist in each of these
two cultures. Goals of this informal educational project include creating deeper and different
perceptions of science and engineering, as well as scientists and engineers, and improving the

understanding of the roles of science and engineering in society. As part of this, I initiated and
organized the Catalyst Program, a workshop for teaching scriptwriting and other aspects of the
business of the film and entertainment industry to scientists and engineers, conducted at the
American Film Institute, 2004-2006 and other venues. I’ve been science advisor for film “Real
Genius”, and worked uncredited on other films. Bit part acting roles include features “Real
Genius” (1985) and “Losing Control” (2012). Organized the course “Visual Story Telling for
Scientists and Engineers”, to be taught by screenwriting expert Syd Field, in Spring 2011.
Agriculture: In work at USC, and in collaboration with colleagues at UC Davis, pulsed
electric fields have been demonstrated to increase juice yield and quality in white wine grapes in
my experiments and in published literature. An electric field of moderate intensity (500-1000
V/cm), applied to the grape tissue causes an irreversible electroporation of the cell membranes,
allowing selective extraction of cell components without thermally affecting the grapes. The
turbidity and the content of solid particles also decrease, which positively impacts the quality of
wine.
