This includes the development of large-scale radiation transport and plasma simulation codes, as well as high-fluence radiation experimental platforms. His current research interests include theory and simulation of intense electron and ion beam generation and propagation, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and electron Hall MHD, Z-pinches, X-ray radiography, radiation effects, and intense electromagnetic pulse.,Dr. Oliver is a member of the American Physical Society. He serves on the IEEE Nuclear Plasma Sciences Society Committee, the Pulsed-Power Sciences and Technology Committee, the Plasma Science and Applications Committee, and the International High Power Particle Beams Committee.
