It costs a lot to get material to the Moon. Can available materials on the Moon's surface be used? 

Generally chemical propulsion is used to launch satellites from the moon. Is it possible to use available resources instead?

Can electrical launch systems replace chemical systems in launching nano-satellites from the Moon?

Active plasma thrusters are needs for in orbit manouvers and for arranging constellations of satellites. 

Thrusters for propulsion generally require nozzles but is this necessary in the vaccum of space?

Positron emitters are embedded in clouds of dust grains produced by supernova. This project will explore the transport of positrons in dust grains using Monte-Carlo techniques to improve our understanding of positron transport in an astrophysically relevant setting.

There is no lunar GPS so how will satellite orbits be determined for safety and efficiency in designing missions.

Positronium is a bound state between an electron and a positron. It is hydrogen-like with a binding energy half that of hydrogen. Positronium has been found to scatter like an electron for the same velocity. Electrons can fragment molecules by temporary attaching leading to fragmentation. This project will explore the fragmentation of molecules in positronium scattering with molecules.

Dense bacterial flows have been shown to exhibit properitse of self-organizaiton. This project is aimed at determining the underlying mechanism of the bacterial self-organizaiton by study the bacteria dispersion using PIV and PTV techniques.

Low Earth Orbit satellites such as CubeSats can have their lifetime boosted by using our unique plasma thrusters to insert them into higher orbits. 

When plasmas are decoupled from their source of power, much can be learned about non-local effects of energy transport.

High power ion beams can be used to replace lasers as sources for evaporated coating material. Work with industry to discover the physics.

Space junk is a major problem for space travel. We use an energetic particle beam to manoeuvre a satellite close to junk then blast it with the particle beam to deorbit the junk

We employ Particle in Cell simulations that are inexpensive true computer experiments to complement the use of costly industrial microchip plasma systems.

Experimental work on expanding plasmas is greatly aided by computer simulation using plasma fluid codes.
