Industrial and cold plasmas

Oral

Plasma agriculture exploits low-temperature plasmas to generate Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen Species (RONS) that enhance seed germination [1, 2], stimulate plant growth [3], improve post-harvest preservation [4, 5], and reduce pesticide residues [5]. Large-scale deployment requires quantitative understanding and control of plasma-driven reactive chemistry across gas and liquid phases, a demand...

Industrial and cold plasmas

Oral

Fusion power plants based on magnetic confinement concepts will operate in long-pulse, largely burning-plasma regimes with intense high-energy neutron fluxes, gamma heating, and high thermal loads. In this environment, today's scientific multi-diagnostic approach becomes impractical, since these systems are typically one-of-a-kind, low-TRL solutions that have not historically been optimised...
