Professor Edgar Choueiri is
Director of Princeton University's
Program in Engineering Physics. His also Director of Princeton's Electric Propulsion and Plasma
Dynamics Laboratory (EPPDyL) and Princeton's 3D Audio and Applied Acoustics
(3D3A) Laboratory. He is tenured Full Professor in the Applied
Physics Group at the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Department, and associated faculty at the Astrophysical Sciences
Dept./Program in Plasma Physics at Princeton
University. He holds a PhD in Aerospace Engineering/Plasma
Science (1991) from Princeton
University. He has been the Principle Investigator (PI) in
charge of directing and managing 40 competitively selected research
projects, funded by NASA, AFOSR, the National Science Foundation,
and other governmental and private institutions. He has been PI and
Co-PI on two space experiments on board the Space Shuttle and the
Russian scientific spacecraft APEX. Professor Choueiri's laboratory
(EPPDyL) at Princeton University, a
recognized center of excellence in research in the field of
advanced spacecraft propulsion, has been continuously funded by
NASA since he became EPPDyL's Chief Scientist in 1996.
Prof. Choueiri is the author of more than 165 journal papers,
conference papers and encyclopaedia articles on plasma thrusters,
plasma physics, instabilities and turbulence in collisional
