VIDHI BEDMUTHA

I’m a passionate undergraduate student exploring advanced electric propulsion technologies for space applications.
Currently researching Glow Discharge Hollow Cathodes (GDHC), focusing on how magnetic fields affect plasma behavior, confinement, and plume formation.
Curious, hands-on, and research driven, I’m building a strong foundation in experimental plasma physics and space propulsion as I work toward a career in aerospace innovation.
