IUCRC Phase I Drexel University: Center for High Pressure Plasma Energy, Agriculture, and Biomedical Technologies (PEAB)

大气压等离子体科学的进步为改善我国的医疗保健、经济繁荣和国防提供了突破性机会。这些科学突破导致了绿色能源、环境修复、水处理和清洁、医药、食品加工和农业等领域新技术的发展。这些都是高压等离子体能源、农业和生物医学技术中心(C-PEAB)要解决的科学和技术的核心基础领域。德雷克塞尔大学(DU)、密歇根大学(UM)和乔治华盛顿大学(GWU)是科学学科领域的领先机构，作为C-Peab的创始成员，它们正在相互协作，并与它们的工业合作伙伴进行协同合作。这一努力将通过集中招聘妇女和代表性不足的少数群体来支持STEM教育，培养一支跨学科的劳动力队伍，并将新的突破性技术与行业相结合。德雷克斯大学与广东工业大学和密歇根大学在等离子体科学方面有着长期的合作，而德雷克斯大学对C-Peab团队的独特贡献是基于S在等离子体医学和等离子体农业方面的开创性研究成果，以及常压等离子体设备从实验室到工业规模的科技经验。低温非平衡等离子体科学是许多现代产业，如微电子和微制造的基础。目前等离子体产生电子学的突破使LTP的应用领域扩大到大气和更高的压力。这些应用领域是高压等离子体能源、农业和生物医学技术中心(C-PEAB)的重点。C-Peab将把诊断、脉冲功率和建模方面的科学突破转化为优化能源、环境修复、食品安全和食品加工以及医疗和生物工程方面的工业应用。C-Peab最初将由德雷克塞尔大学(DU)、密歇根大学(UM)和乔治华盛顿大学(GWU)之间的三个地点的IUCRC组成，随后将增加新的成员大学，这些大学在与C-Peab相关的高压等离子体应用方面拥有强大的行业合作。虽然德雷克斯大学与华盛顿大学和密歇根大学在等离子体科学方面有着长期的合作经验，但德雷克斯大学赛特对C-PEAB团队的独特贡献尤其基于S在大气和更高压力(1)纳秒和亚纳秒脉冲介质阻挡放电，以及(2)稳定在龙卷风流动中的非平衡滑动弧光的科学与工程方面的核心专业知识。

Advances in the science of atmospheric pressure plasmas have enabled breakthrough opportunities to improve our Nation's healthcare, economic prosperity and defense. These science breakthroughs have resulted in the development of new technologies in green energy, environmental remediation, water treatment and cleaning, medicine, food processing, and agriculture. These are the core fundamental areas of science and technology to be addressed by the Center for High Pressure Plasma Energy, Agriculture, and Biomedical Technologies (C-PEAB). Drexel University (DU), University of Michigan (UM), and George Washington University (GWU), leading institutions in the scientific subject area, are synergistically collaborating with each other and with their industrial partners as the founding members of the C-PEAB. This effort will support STEM education with focused recruitment of women and underrepresented minorities, produce an interdisciplinary workforce, and integrate novel breakthrough technologies with industry. While having long-term collaborations in plasma science with GWU and UM, Drexel University's unique contribution to the C-PEAB team is based upon DU?s pioneering research achievements in plasma medicine and plasma agriculture as well as scientific and technological experience in scaling up atmospheric pressure plasma devices from laboratory to industrial scale.Low Temperature non-equilibrium Plasma (LTP) science is the base upon which many modern industries such as microelectronics and micro-fabrication have been built. Current breakthroughs in plasma-generating electronics have made it possible to widen the area of LTP applications to atmospheric and higher pressures. These application areas are the focus of the Center for High Pressure Plasma Energy, Agriculture, and Biomedical Technologies (C-PEAB). The C-PEAB will translate science breakthroughs in diagnostics, pulse power and modeling to optimizing industrial applications in energy, environmental remediation, food safety and food processing, and medical and bioengineering. C-PEAB will initially consist of a three-site IUCRC between Drexel University (DU), University of Michigan (UM), and George Washington University (GWU) with subsequent addition of new member universities who have strong industry collaborations in high-pressure plasma applications pertinent to the C-PEAB. While having long-term collaboration experience in plasma science with GWU and UM, Drexel University site's unique contribution to the C-PEAB team is especially based upon DU?s core expertise in science and engineering of atmospheric and higher pressure (1) nanosecond and sub-nanosecond pulsed dielectric barrier discharges, and (2) non-equilibrium gliding arcs, stabilized in tornado flow.
