DR. MAHDI SHIRAZI
Dr. Mahdi Shirazi from Universiteit Antwerp is a Marie Curie ITN RAPID fellow and gives a presentation during his secondment at the Ruhr-University Bochum on Monday, June 29th, 2015 at 9:15 am, NB 5/158 (Seminarraum EP2). His talk is about Multi-scale modelling of plasma catalysis.
n this research, the interaction of free radical species with a Ni catalyst surface were studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and this information is now being implemented in a kinetic Monte Carlo model, to study the catalytic mechanisms.
He comes from the research group PLASMANT. The research group is part of the chemistry department, and belongs to the center-of-excellence NANO of the University of Antwerp. The group specialized in computer modeling of plasmas and plasma-surface interactions, for applications in material science, the microelectronic, medical and environmental applications (plasma catalysis).
Anybody interested, is welcome to join!
