group leader

e‑mail:

Dr. Hoder investigates ultra-fast phenomena in transient non-thermal plasmas using high sensitivity and high resolution electrical, optical or spectroscopic techniques. His focus is on fundamental breakdown processes, whether in gases or liquids. He studies the plasma physics and chemistry using non-steady-state collision-radiative and global electrical models. He gave invited talks on international conferences such as IWM 2017, ICPIG 2015 or meetings of European Science Foundation in 2015. He is active as a reviewer for IOP, AIP, IEEE and Springer plasma physics journals. ORCID page: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5346-6275

In the field of plasma physics I am active namely in laser-based plasma diagnostics, escpecially in (TA)LIF of radical species including measurements in suface discharges ignited at atmospheric pressure. The fluorescence studies contain the research of atomizers, where we have proven by means of TALIF that atomic hydrogen plays the key role in the decomposition of volatile hydrides. Further, I work with capacitively coupled discharges, where I study their ignition and nonlinear characteristics by both theoretical calculations and various diagnostic methods. Regarding other fields of science, I am interested in speleology and occasionally I am in touch with photochemistry and processes in ice.

Mgr. Adam Obrusník, Ph.D.

e‑mail:

Adam Obrusník je absolventem doktorského programu Fyzika plazmatu. Ve svém výzkumu se zabýval především numerickými simulacemi, které využívá pro studium kinetiky a dynamiky plynů v plazmatu na atmosférickém tlaku. Během studia se zúčastnil několika výzkumných stáží na univerzitách v Německu, Holandsku a ve Francii. V současné době se kromě plazmatu za atmosférického tlaku věnuje i numerické analýze plazmatu za nízkého tlaku, v iontových motorech a v magnetronovém naprašování.

Mgr. Martina Mrkvičková, Ph.D.

e‑mail:

Martina Mrkvičková focuses on laser-based plasma diagnostics, namely on a detection of various reactive species in plasma by one or two-photon absorption laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) or a determination of electric field by electric field induced second harmonic generation (EFISH).

Pedro Arsénio Nunes Aleixo Viegas, PhD.

Pedro Viegas investigates the physics of low-temperature plasmas through numerical simulations, especially of discharges at atmospheric pressure. He has previously done research in Portugal, France and The Netherlands. He has focused mostly on dynamics of helium plasma jets, plasma-surface interactions, numerical methods to calculate vibrational distribution functions, kinetics in plasmas for CO₂ conversion and contraction mechanisms in microwave discharges. He is currently expanding his research interests to discharges in liquid water and photoionization in streamers.
