Research Interests

My current research deals with the production of nanoparticles by using nanosecond repetitively pulsed microplasmas. My topic also includes chemical and physical properties of nanosecond discharges. My previous research was related to the confinement of nanosecond repetitively pulsed discharges and the electrohydrodynamics effects.
