Mehdi is studying the behavior of materials at extreme conditions. His currernt research focuses particularly on computational high energy density physics (branch of physics that intersects condensed matter physics and plasma physics) — at extreme conditions of pressure and/or temperature. He is working to provide necessary predictions to collaborative experiment groups working in this area of research.
