BIO

Research

Michael Coppins is a Reader in Physics working in the field of dusty plasmas. His work is theoretical/computational and focuses on two areas:

1) basic dust-plasma interactions (e.g., dust charging; dust in magnetized plasmas; non-spherical dust; misty plasmas), and

2) dust in tokamaks (simulations using the DTOKS tokamak dust transport code, developed at Imperial College).

He is the lead Principle Investigator on an EPSRC funded project on "Dust in Magnetized Plasmas" in collaboration with the Universities of York and Liverpool.
Teaching

He currently teaches the 2nd year electromagnetism course, but has also taught many other core courses in physics. In addition he lectures at the Culham Summer School in Plasma Physics.
