Prof. Froula's research interests are in the fields of Experimental Plasma and Laser Physics. His research covers the many areas relevant to inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and high energy density physics. This includes laser-plasma interactions (Stimulated Brillouin, Raman scattering, two-plasmon decay, cross-beam energy transfer), under-dense hydrodynamics, Thomson scattering, laser-plasma acceleration (wakefield acceleration), and short-pulse Raman amplification. His research is currently primary focused around the OMEGA, OMEGA EP, MTW, OPAL laser facilities at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics and the Jupiter Laser Facility and National Ignition Facility at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
