Dublin City University

Plasma Technology for Nano Manufacturing

Introduction
Precision is a newly established Strategic Research Cluster supported by Science Foundation Ireland and our Industrial partners.  The Cluster is hosted by the National Centre for Plasma Science and Technology (NCPST) at Dublin City University and the Surface Engineering Group at University College Dublin.  The Cluster aims to develop the scientific and technological knowledge needed for present and future manufacturing applications using plasmas, with a specific emphasis on nano-scale products, process reliability, manufacturing costs and advanced materials processing.

The Cluster is current seeking postgraduate application for candidates interested in undertaking a programme work leading to either Masters or PhD in the following areas:

Field Subject area Based in REF
Physics Modelling of atmospheric pressure plasmas DCU PPG_MMT1
Physics/Electrical Engineering Development of electrical plasma diagnostics DCU PPG_MH1
Physics/Electrical Engineering Plasma resonance probes DCU PPG_MMT2
Physics Plasma spectroscopy DCU PPG_PS1
Physics/Electrical Engineering Photoacoustic droplet detection DCU PPG_PMN1
Physics/EE Characterization of nanostructured GaAs on Si for advance CMOS technology DCU MEPG_PMN2
Physics/Chemistry Plasma chemistry characterisation DCU PPG_SD1
Electrical Engineering Development of control methodology DCU PPG_TH1
Physics/Chemistry/ Engineering Physical properties of the liquid precursor UCD PPG_DD1
Physics/Chemistry/ Engineering Understanding the properties of deposited coatings UCD PPG_DD2
Food Science Anti-oxidant coatings UCD PPG_FM1
