Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLubos Brieda is an assistant professor of Aerospace Engineering at Cal Poly SLO and president of Particle In Cell Consulting, bringing 11+ years of hands-on experience in plasma simulation, contamination transport, and spacecraft testing. He has developed production-grade PIC plasma codes for electric propulsion and led contamination analyses for high-profile missions including JWST, TESS, GOES-R and Dragonfly. An educator with teaching appointments at USC, George Washington University, and Oregon State, he blends rigorous academic research with practical industry consulting and online instruction in computational plasma physics. His background includes pioneering a 3D electrostatic PIC code at AFRL and advising on fusion and semiconductor modeling, reflecting a rare cross-section of space systems, plasma physics, and numerical methods. Based in Thousand Oaks, CA, he balances scholarly publication and student mentorship with delivering mission-critical simulation tools for government and commercial clients.
