Clearing questions

1. Are you a U.S. person under U.S. export control laws, meaning a U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee? *
2. Where are you located, or willing to be based? *
3. Which best describes your background? *
4. Outside coursework alone, have you personally developed, materially modified, or owned electromagnetic, particle in cell, beam physics, or plasma simulations used for research or engineering decisions? *
5. Can you independently write numerical research or engineering code in Python, C++, Julia, MATLAB, or an equivalent technical language? *

Technical evidence

6. Which areas have you worked in at research or professional depth? *

Select all that apply.

7. Which tools have you used for serious research or engineering work? *

Select all that apply.

8. Describe the most technically difficult electromagnetic, beam, or plasma simulation you personally built or owned *

State the physics, numerical method, solver or code, boundary conditions, important resolution or timestep considerations, computational scale, and what decision or result came from it.

9. Describe a model you validated against an analytic result, published benchmark, or experiment. How close was the agreement, what initially disagreed, and what did you learn? *
0/250 words
10. A simulation predicts excellent device efficiency, but experiment is substantially worse. What numerical artifacts, missing physics, and experimental effects would you investigate before trusting either result? *
0/250 words
11. A high power microwave field propagates through or interacts with a weakly ionized plasma. What physical parameters and timescales would you examine first to determine whether the plasma materially changes propagation, absorption, breakdown, or mode behavior? *

12. Link to code, a publication, thesis, technical report, or other work product that best demonstrates your computational ability *

If the work is not public, describe it and your personal contribution.
