Technological plasmas can be found in all areas of high-tech applications ranging from microelectronics fabrication to deep space thrusters. Few other areas include textiles, greenhouses gases reformation, analytical chemistry techniques, materials coating, and lighting.
In recent years many new technologies emerged where there is a direct interaction between plasma and water, creating a complex environment filled with puzzling and exciting science.
The aim of this PhD project is to use Molecular Dynamics (MD), an advanced simulation technique to explore the science behind the plasma-liquid interface. The specific aims of the project are quite versatile and can be tailored to accommodate the interests and expertise of the applicant. The selected candidate will be trained to use advanced simulation software, in addition to scientific writing and presentation skills.
