Biography

Professional Biography

I am a researcher specializing in laser and plasma physics. I hold a Master’s degree in Nitrogen Laser Systems, during which I designed and implemented a nitrogen laser setup based on a locally constructed Blumlein pulsed power circuit. Currently, I am pursuing a Ph.D. with a focus on the development and construction of cold plasma systems, particularly atmospheric pressure plasma jets (APPJ), integrated with custom-designed high-voltage power supplies built in-house.

I have extensive experience in designing advanced electronic circuits for frequency and pulse control using MOSFETs, transistors, and ferrite-based transformers, in addition to embedded system programming. I have also developed hybrid systems combining plasma and laser technologies for the advanced oxidation of organic pollutants, aiming at environmental and industrial applications.

Research Interests:

  • Design and fabrication of plasma and laser systems for biomedical and industrial applications.

  • Development of high-voltage power supplies tailored for plasma generation.

  • Investigation of plasma-induced modifications in the physicochemical properties of liquids and biomaterials.

  • Plasma diagnostics including measurements of ORP, electrical conductivity, pH, and zeta potential.

  • Theoretical modeling and data analysis using Python programming for simulation of plasma behavior based on continuity, energy, and transport equations.

  • Proficient use of data analysis tools such as ImageJ, Origin, and Excel for experimental evaluation and graphical representation.

Through my research, I aim to integrate applied physics with electronic engineering to develop cost-effective and efficient plasma systems that serve academic research and practical applications in the fields of medicine, environmental remediation, and energy.
