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!

11TH FRONTIERS IN LOW TEMPERATURE PLASMA DIAGNOSTICS
The 11th biennial Frontiers in Low Temperature Plasma Diagnostics (FLTPD) workshop was being organised by the PIIM laboratory (Aix-Marseille University and the CNRS). It was held on the beautiful Mediterranean island of Porquerolles, approximately 15 min by boat from the mainland. It took place from Sunday 24th to Thursday 28th May, 2015 at the IGESA conference centre.
Marcel Fiebrandt and Moritz Oberberg (both AEPT), Dr. Volker Schulz-von der Gathen (EP2) as well as Prof. Dr. Uwe Czarnetzki, Dr. Emile Carbone, Dr. Tsanko Tsankov, and Xi-Ming Zhu (all EP5) participated.

MAE MOURNS LOSS OF PROFESSOR WALTER LEMPERT
The Research Department Plasma is deeply saddened by the passing of Prof. Walter Lempert on April 11, 2015. He collaborated closely for many years with Prof. Uwe Czarnetzki and his group at EP5. He will be greatly missed.
"The department was deeply saddened by the passing of Walter Lempert on April 11, 2015.
Lempert was a faculty member in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and co-director of the Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics Laboratory (NETL), a major research laboratory containing state-of-the-art computational and experimental facilities among the most advanced at any U.S. university.
The NETL thrust area is energy, fluid and thermal systems, studying effective fuel use, reduced emissions, improved performance and cost effectiveness – critically important industrial and societal goals. Lempert and his colleagues led research and education focused on analytical, computational and experimental techniques for achieving these goals.
Lempert’s primary research was on the application of atomic and molecular spectroscopy to problems of engineering interest, inherently interdisciplinary, combining such diverse subjects as nonlinear optics, fluid mechanics, plasma physics and energy transfer. He is a notable author of numerous publications, papers and presentations helping to enhance the department’s reputation in energy, fluid and thermal systems.
Lempert left an indelible mark at Ohio State and a legacy of dedicated excellence in education and research. His cheerful personality, friendliness and warmth among faculty, staff and students will be greatly missed."
