Quantum modeling • Cold plasmas • Ion transport • Time-dependent dynamics

"Bridging fundamental quantum theory with computational tools to understand ion-driven processes in cold plasmas."

I am a faculty researcher in Atomic, Molecular & Optical (AMO) Physics at USTHB, Algiers. My work combines ab initio quantum methods, collision theory, and spectroscopic analysis to model ion–atom interactions and transport phenomena in low-temperature plasma environments.

🎯 Current focus: Extending stationary approaches to time-dependent quantum dynamics using the Heidelberg MCTDH package.

Core Topics:
  • Ion–atom collision processes & cross-section calculations
  • Ion mobility, diffusion & transport coefficients in cold plasmas
  • Spectroscopic analysis of atomic/molecular systems
  • Ab initio electronic structure & potential energy surfaces

Methodologies:
  • Quantum scattering theory (close-coupling, R-matrix)
  • Time-dependent wavepacket propagation (MCTDH)
  • Numerical solutions of coupled differential equations
  • High-performance scientific computing (Fortran/Python)
