Research
The Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology e.V. (INP) is the largest non-university research centre for low-temperature plasmas, their fundamentals and technical applications in Europe.
Under the scientific direction of Prof. Klaus-Dieter Weltmann, research is organised into five main research programmes: Agriculture, Bioeconomy, Environment (Head: Prof. Juergen Kolb), Plasma Medicine (Head: Prof. Sander Bekeschus), Surfaces & Materials (Head: Dr Alexander Vahl), Process & Energy Technology (Head: Prof. Dirk Uhrlandt), Smart Data Technologies (Head: Dr Markus Becker).
Agriculture, Bioeconomy, Environment
This research programme develops innovative plasma technologies for a sustainable circular economy in agriculture and food production.
This research programme investigates plasma-based processes for the decarbonisation of industrial processes and the defossilisation of energy technology.
This research programme investigates the interaction of plasmas with cells and tissues and develops new medical applications.
This research programme develops data-based methods for the simulation, diagnosis and analysis of plasmas and their applications.
This research programme develops plasma-assisted material modification and thin film technologies for industrial and medical applications.
