Speaker Bio
Nathalie De Geyter is a full professor at Ghent University (Faculty of Engineering and Architecture), specializing in plasma technology and biomaterials. She earned her PhD in 2008 with a focus on the surface modification of polymers using non-thermal plasmas. Her research includes plasma surface modification, plasma polymerization – particularly for biomedical applications – and plasma medicine. She has authored over 250 peer-reviewed publications and coordinates several interdisciplinary research projects in advanced plasma technologies.
Neelakandan M Santhosh is a research associate at the Department of Gaseous Electronics (F6), Jožef Stefan Institute, Slovenia. His main research interest is developing novel materials, including graphene, quantum dots, and other 2D materials, and tailoring their properties for application-oriented purposes using plasma-enabled techniques. The major objective of his research is to modulate the electrical and electrochemical properties of the nanomaterials and activate the reactive centers, which could be potentially used for future electronic and energy devices. He currently serves as a member of the Dielectric Science and Technology Division, the Electrochemical Society, and several advisory committees of scientific journals.
Anton Nikiforov received the PhD degree in 2004 in the field of Physical Chemistry from the Russian Academy of Sciences. From the year 2009 he is working in Ghent University, the Department of Applied Physics, Research Unit of Plasma Technology (RUPT). His current research interests include physics and applications of plasma-liquid systems; plasma diagnostics and laser spectroscopy; plasma engineering of materials and plasma-surface interactions. A. Nikiforov is involved in multiple European and national projects on plasma technology and plasma science.
