School of Electronic, Electrical and Systems Engineering

This project aims at developing and characterising cold atmospheric plasma sources for biomedical applications. The project exploits experimental and computational expertise within the CBE and combines them synergistically to advance the current understanding of cold atmospheric plasmas, unravel the mechanisms governing the interaction of plasma with living matter, and overcome engineering challenges of the development of CAP sources for real-world applications in medicine.
