Associate Dean for Academic Programs and
Initiatives at the Horace H. Rackham School of
Graduate Studies and Director of the Plasmadynamics
and Electric Propulsion Laboratory, Professor
Gallimore's primary research interests include
electric propulsion, plasma diagnostics, space
plasma simulation, electrode physics, and
hypersonic aerodynamics/plasma interaction. He has
extensive design and testing experience with a
number of electric propulsion devices including
Hall thrusters, ion engines, arcjets, 100-kW-class
steady MPD thrusters, and multimegawatt pulsed
coaxial plasma accelerators. He has implemented a
variety of probe, microwave, and optical/laser
plasma diagnostics, and has graduated 16 Ph.D.
students and 11 M.S. students in the field of
electric propulsion. Professor Gallimore has more
than 190 archival journal articles and conference
papers, and 2 book chapters in electric propulsion.
Professor Gallimore is also director of the
NASA-funded Michigan Space Grant Consortium and is
an advisor to the United States Air Force
Scientific Advisory Board.
