Eyal Kroupp is a senior staff scientist in the Intense Laser Physics Laboratory, Faculty of Physics, at the Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS) in Israel. As an experimentalist, his research interests include high-energy-density plasmas, encompassing the interaction of plasmas with intense pulsed magnetic fields or with high-power lasers. He graduated from the Plasma Laboratory of the Faculty of Physics at the WIS, followed by a few years as a postdoctoral fellow. His studies focused on high-resolution x-ray and visible-UV spectroscopy of imploding plasmas, including experimental investigations of the ion heating and plasma turbulence. He has been advising students and collaborating with laboratories in Europe and in the US.
