
Computational modeling of time-resolved plasma dynamics (e.g., electron density, electron
temperature, ion density, electric field…) in any non-equilibrium plasma systems (e.g., DBD,
corona…)
Computational modeling of time-resolved spatial distribution of plasma-produced reactive
species (e.g., OH, H2O2, O, O3, NO, HOONO…) in any non-equilibrium plasma systems (e.g.,
DBD, corona…)
Analytical calculation of plasma properties (e.g., electron density, electron temperature, ion
density, electric field…) in any non-equilibrium plasma systems (e.g., DBD, corona…)
Analytical calculation of concentrations of plasma-produced reactive species in any nonequilibrium plasma systems (e.g., DBD, corona…)
Computational or analytical modeling of discharge current produced from DBD devices
Experimental characterization of plasma properties using optical emission spectroscopy and
estimation of the rotational and vibrational temperature using the emission spectra
Experimental characterization of electrical properties (e.g., discharge current, power) in any nonequilibrium plasma systems (e.g., DBD, corona…)
Experimental characterization of plasma-produced short-lived reactive species (e.g., atomic
oxygen, peroxynitrtie…) using any optical or chemical analysis methods
Study of electron energy distribution function (EEDF) in any non-equilibrium plasma systems
Design and development of power supplies for plasma generation
