The PLASMAScience Graduate School is structured around three major research areas: Plasmas and Energy, Plasmas and Space, and Plasmas and Society.
Plasmas and Energy focuses on key plasma processes related to energy losses in large international facilities dedicated to thermonuclear fusion, while also exploring nanotechnology-based approaches for solar energy applications.
Plasmas and Space addresses space plasmas, with particular emphasis on energy conversion and dissipation across different plasma scales. This area also includes research on plasma propulsion for new generations of all-electric satellites.
Plasmas and Society explores laser-produced and cold plasmas, and develops applications across a wide range of fields, including medicine (medical imaging and therapy), nanotechnology, aeronautics, environmental sciences, and agriculture.
