Biography

I received my PhD in 1988 on Theoretical
Atomic and Molecular Physics. My current work deals with experiments, molecular simulations and technology transfer of plasma designed materials for energy, especially fuel cells. I am coauthor of more than 120 publications in international peer review journals and inventor of six patents.
