Scope

There are technological challenges to cope with the advancement of plasma applications. Plasma technologies are fast emerging to cover wide applications in material processing, energy, manufacturing, aerospace, transportation, water treatment, waste management, defense, nuclear, inspection and diagnostic, chemical and petrochemical industry, agriculture, and biomedical fields. This event will provide multidisciplinary forum to discuss foundations of plasma physics, modeling and simulation, diagnostics, thermal plasma, cold plasma, plasma control, state-of-the-art plasma torch technologies, and the integration in different applications. The event will enable researchers, scientists, students, technology providers, and government and regulators to exchange knowledge, techniques, and skills of plasma sciences and technologies across different domains with shared experiences toward increase jobs, enhance profits, share research facilities, and reduce environmental impacts.
