Atmospheric Pressure Cold Plasma

Processing Workshop

 Signup Today!

Background: Atmospheric pressure cold plasma is finding applications in processes requiring low temperature, minimal use of harsh chemicals, and minimal effluence.

Objectives:
1) Synergistic networking for researchers considering the application of atmospheric pressure cold plasma processing in their discipline;
2) Attracting interdisciplinary expertise to this new field of plasma-assisted processing;
3) Identifying research hurdles and challenges; and
4) Facilitating formation of research teams and writing of proposals.

Date: Tuesday July 21
Time: 1:00

Location: CUB Junior Ballroom at WSU Pullman (CUB 210)

Co-hosted by:

Patrick Pedrow, Associate Professor, WSU School of EECS and Marvin Pitts, Associate Professor/Scientist, WSU Department of Biological Systems Engineering

Format:

1:00 - 1:05 Introduction
1:05 - 1:35 Background on Atmospheric Pressure Cold Plasma
1:35 - 2:05 Introduction to Existing Applications
2:05 - 2:50 Poster Session
2:50 - 3:05 Listing of Common Problems/Research Hurdles

Posters will cover atmospheric pressure cold plasma processing applied in these areas:

biofuel, fresh fruits and vegetables, wood products, and fabrics.

To participate as a poster presenter, please send a 150 word abstract to:
Patrick Pedrow, pedrow@eecs.wsu.edu. Accepted abstracts will be announced by July 8. Each accepted abstract must have atmospheric pressure cold plasma processing as an integral part.

Participation as an audience member (and as a poster presenter) is free of charge but if you plan to attend please RSVP at the https://events.eecs.wsu.edu/Cold_Plasma_Workshop by July 10. Direct your questions to: Patrick Pedrow, pedrow@eecs.wsu.edu
