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.
Our colleagues Assoc. Prof. Pavel Souček and Dr. Richard Krumpolec represented Masaryk University and the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology and CEPLANT center as we joined the Český bateriový klastr / Czech Battery Cluster.
PhD student Lukáš Vrána is extending his internship at the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), Tsukuba, where he explores advanced microscopy and micromechanical testing on high-entropy stabilized nitrides. His stay has already sparked new collaborations between Masaryk University and NIMS, paving the way for joint projects on student mobility and thin-film research using HiPIMS technology.
