Simon Dap from Toulouse, France, joined the scientists of the Plasma Diagnostics and Modelling research group. Simon Dap is a researcher at the Laboratoire LAPLACE, Université Paul Sabatier, and works on atmospheric pressure discharge physics and optical diagnostics.
For fourteen days in June, French colleague Assoc. Prof. Simon Dap worked in the laser laboratory of Assoc. Prof. Pavel Dvořák. Simon Dap is researching DBD (dielectric barrier discharges). You can find his scientific publications from the last years here.
Joint experiments focused on measuring the concentration of free oxygen atoms in DBD discharges in a CO2 atmosphere using the TALIF (Two-photon Absorption Laser Induced Fluorescence). At the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology and CEPLANT, Assoc. Prof. Pavel Dvořák works on laser diagnostics together with Dr. Martina Mrkvičková and his PhD student Tomáš Medek.
CaviPlasma technology for the cleaning of wastewater from hard-to-remove pollutants wins the TA ČR Award in the category SOCIETY and also becomes the absolute winner with the title Czech Idea 2024.
Jan Skácel went to the von Karman Institute in Belgium for the second time. This time, he stayed for ten months and focused on the problem of charging satellites in the ionosphere for ten months.
