MERCATOR FELLOW

Prof. Dr. Quan-Zhi Zhang

Prof. Dr. Quan-Zhi Zhang from Dalian University of Technology in China joined the CRC 1316 as new Mercator Fellow. He is very experienced in Particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo collision (PIC/MCC) algorithms, and the simulations of plasma and plasma-surface interactions, for various applications. His research activities include the heating mechanisms and electron kinetics in dc/rf, pulse modulated, dual-frequency (EAE) capacitively coupled plasma; cryogenic plasma etching of porous materials; the propagation mechanism of plasma streamer in Dielectric Barrier Discharge, structure catalysts (like honeycomb) at atmospheric pressure.
