My major interests include experimental and theoretical studies of the physics and chemistry in low-energy, gaseous plasmas.
Studies concern the interactions of electrons and ions with atoms and molecules.
This involves measuring the basic collision process related to ionic production and loss processes in both the active and afterglow regions of electrical discharges. I also study phenomena that occur in the active discharge and relate to volume and surface effects. Experimental methods include mass spectrometric sampling applied to active and pulsed discharges, radiation and sampling methods, and high vacuum technology. In addition I am interested in various engineering and scientific aspects of energy conversion systems, with particular emphasis on nonconventional conversion systems. This includes various types of renewable and nonrenewable energy resources, efficiency parameters, and efficiency parameters, and efficient use of energy.
