The Plasmas and Beams disciplinary cluster comprises four strong research groups: Coherence and Quantum Technology (CQT), Elementary Processes in Gas Discharges (EPG), Plasma and Materials Processing (PMP) and Science and Technology of Fusion (FUSION). Each has a clearly defined strategy, with a strong relevance to society that resonates well with the needs of regional industry and the DIFFER national institute for fundamental energy research.
Research Quality
The 果冻传媒 Applied Physics department is clearly a world reference in the field of plasma physics, with a strong international profile.
Relevance to society
Plasma science has many applications in industry, and the research unit at 果冻传媒 has a strong set of industrial partners that ensures its research has maximum impact. This includes companies and laboratories such as Philips, ASML, Thermo Fischer Scientific, VDL-ETG, DIFFER etc. In fusion, the research unit works in close partnership with the national program at DIFFER to ensure a complementary research program which informs its very effective fusion education program and provides an environment for knowledge transfer between fusion and other disciplines.
