Research interests:

 

Low temperature plasmas and non equilibrium discharges at "atmospheric" pressures (0.1<P<10 bars),

 

Micro-discharges in DC and pulsed modes: physics and application to the production of O2(a1Dg),

 

Pulsed discharges at high repetition frequency: high power gas lasers,  excilamps, gas depolluting and surface treatments,

 

UV incoherent sources for bacterial decontamination,

 

Plasmas for biological and medical applications,

 

Plasma spectroscopy (emission, absorption, LIF and TALIF)
