Prof. Dr. Liangwen Qi | Nuclear Engineering | Best Research Article Award Lanzhou Jiaotong University | China Assoc. Prof. Dr. Liangwen Qi, Ph.D., earned his doctorate in Plasma Physics from Dalian University of Technology in 2022 and currently serves as an active researcher in the field of high-power pulsed discharge and plasma-material interaction. His primary research interests encompass the control of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instability in coaxial gun high-current pulse discharge plasma, the interaction between high-energy-density plasma and materials, and the generation of spheromak plasma using magnetized coaxial guns. Over the past five years, Dr. Qi has made significant contributions to the advancement of plasma physics, publishing more than ten SCI-indexed papers in prestigious international and domestic journals, including Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, Physics of Plasmas, Journal of Plasma Physics, Fusion Engineering and Design, and Chinese Journal of Physics. Notably, six of these works were authored as first author, demonstrating his leadership in innovative plasma diagnostics and experimental methodologies. His representative paper, “Characteristics of a Repetitive ELM-like Pulsed Plasma Source and Its Damage Effects on Tungsten Target,” exemplifies his commitment to understanding plasma-material interactions relevant to fusion energy systems. Dr. Qi has also filed two national patents as the first inventor, reflecting the practical impact of his work. With 41 citations across 29 documents and an h-index of 4, his research continues to contribute meaningfully to the development of advanced plasma technologies.
