Dr. Zoltán Donkó has been collaborating with RUB for ten years, the joint work is marked by 47 publications that appeared in leading international journals. His recent work focuses on the kinetic simulations of high-pressure low-temperature discharges in helium and its mixtures with various gases, which directly contributes to the project A4 (Process control in micro atmospheric pressure RF plasma jets by voltage waveform tailoring and customised boundary surfaces) and will be of relevance to other projects of SFB 1316. His additional contributions are teaching basics of low temperature plasma science and numerical simulation techniques to researchers and students involved in the SFB, as well as acting as external research mentor of students at RUB.
