About the lab
Led by Prof. Marshal Dhayal
Working at the interface of experimental plasma physics and biophysics, our group develops plasma-assisted materials, biosensors and stem-cell technologies — across two decades and laboratories in India, the UK, the USA and South Korea.
Plasma Physics (Experimental)
We examine the properties, dynamics and interactions of plasma, the fourth state of matter, with applications in fusion energy, materials processing and space physics.
Biophysics (Experimental)
An interdisciplinary science that applies the principles and methods of physics to understand biological systems, using techniques such as spectroscopy and microscopy.
What we do
Research Areas
Six interconnected directions — select one to explore.
Plasma Assisted Materials
Using plasma technology to enhance or alter the properties of various materials through surface modification techniques such as PECVD and plasma surface treatment, with applications in electronics and aerospace.
