Expertise
I began my PhD research in 2002 by investigating the plasma chemical kinetics of glow discharge interactions with polymers. Since then, all my research activities have been carried out in the fields of plasma chemistry, plasma technology, and plasma diagnostics. The results of the projects obtained during the period 2001-2004 lead to Ph.D. in Chemistry. In the period from 2025-2006 I was a post-doc at the Department of Applied Physics, Ghent University working on plasma-liquids interactions. From the year 2009, I was affiliated with Gent University, Department of Applied Physics. My work later expanded to the interactions of plasma with liquids, solids, and nanomaterials, where I applied my expertise to develop new plasma process approaches, design various plasma reactors, and use them to address urgent problems in environmental chemistry, gas reforming, water treatment, and nano-materials engineering. Throughout my scientific career, I have consistently fostered collaborations with top-level research groups and worked on challenging problems as part of a team with many PhD students and colleagues. My research activity is essentially experimental activity that focuses on the non-equilibrium chemistry, plasma diagnostics, plasma technology and nano-materials synthesis. On-going studies bear on plasma-surface interactions, new methods of chemical synthesis in liquid phase, gas reforming and radical chemistry in highly non-equilibrium conditions as well as advanced methods of plasma diagnostics. From the year 2009 under my supervision, 17 Ph.D. students successfully finished the studying program.
