Jan Skácel from MUNI: Plasma Physicist Interns at NASA

A dream come true — and a scientific challenge. Jan Skácel, a PhD student in plasma physics at the Faculty of Science, Masaryk University, completed a prestigious one-month internship at NASA Ames Research Center in California. As part of the team at the Arc Jet Complex, he contributed to modeling boundary conditions for simulations of extreme aerodynamic phenomena, which NASA uses to improve the safety and accuracy of satellites re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere.
