🤩A warm #welcome to our new member Iñaki Fernandez Tena! @InakiPhy515 will work under the supervision of Jiewei Zhou towards his PhD on Hall Effect Thrusters and hybrid PIC-fluid simulations.

[Equipo de Propulsión Espacial y Plasmas @ep2lab]

New collab w/ Miguel P. Encinar transferring our original PICASO CPU code to GPU. The result?

📈17.5 times faster
✅10.5 hours instead of 7.5 days
🔻CO₂ footprint decreased 10 times

The simulation is part of an international benchmark of PIC codes, under the LANDMARK project.

‼️ Save the date‼️ Our team member Alberto Marín will defend his PhD thesis "Two-dimensional model of wall interaction in Hall effect thruster discharges" on the 26th of September. Good luck Alberto🍀

You are welcome to attend the defense on the Leganés @uc3m campus.
