Research
Our research is divided into four research areas and carried out within focus groups, which have a large overlap in content due to the interdisciplinary nature of plasma technology.
- Biomedical Applications (Prof. Andrew Gibson)
- Materials Processing and Environmental Applications (Prof. Peter Awakowicz)
- Modeling and Simulation (Prof. Thomas Mussenbrock)
- Technological High-frequency Plasmas (Prof. Julian Schulze)
Our research is supported to a significant extent by public funding sources. These are in detail:
- German Research Foundation (DFG)
- Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)
- German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi)
- Ministry of Economic Affairs, Innovation, Digitalisation and Energy of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (MWIDE.NRW)
The lists of ongoing and already completed DFG projects can be found here:
- GEPRIS: Chair of Applied Electrodynamics and Plasma Technology
- GEPRIS: Chair of Electrical Engineering and Plasma Technology
- GEPRIS: Junior Professorship of Biomedical Plasma Technology
As part of our research, we are members of the following coordinated research initiatives of the DFG, among others:
