PROF. DR. THOMAS MUSSENBROCK, CHAIR OF APPLIED ELECTRODYNAMICS AND PLASMA TECHNOLOGY (AEPT)

The research topics are in the area of low-temperature plasmas with the focus on materials processing. Thomas is also interest in the physics and application of nanoelectronic devices. Thomas and his team develop in analytical and numerical methods and tools for modeling and simulation of the aforementioned systems. The overall aim is to understand the macroscopic behavior of the systems based on the microscopic dynamics of the involved atoms, molecules, electrons and photons. In the framework of his research, he is member of the Collaborative Research Centres TRR 87 “Pulsed High-Power Plasmas for the Synthesis of Nanostructured Functional Layers”, CRC 1316 “Transient Atmospheric Plasmas – From Plasmas to Liquids to Solids”, and CRC 1461 “Neurotronics: Bio-Inspired Information Pathways”, all of which are funded by the German Research Foundation. Thomas is a trained electri-cian.
