As stated in the 2008 report of the US Department of Energy, Low Temperature Plasma Science: Not Only the Fourth State of Matter but All of Them, “The unique nonequilibrium environment and the combination of reactive and charged species created by the plasma provide the means to synthesize and modify nanometer-sized materials in ways that may not be achieved by any other means. However, a fundamental understanding of how reactive radicals, ions, electrons, and photons interact with matter is necessary for extending the current state of the art to produce scientifically exciting and technologically important discoveries.” From the very beginning, my vision was to engage myself in the fertile field of plasma science to generate large amounts of exciting new knowledge impacting in particular materials science and technology. Accordingly, I intend to seize new opportunities by tackling 3 challenging projects:
