The CANMILK project was recently represented at the 28th International Plasma School on “Low Temperature Plasma Physics: Basics and Applications” in Bad Honnef, Germany. The event gathered researchers in experimental and simulation-based plasma physics and offered a rich program of lectures and hands-on workshops. It provided a valuable opportunity to deepen knowledge of plasma fundamentals and engage with current developments in the field.
Farzaneh Ostovarpour, a PhD student at IPFN, Instituto Superior Técnico (University of Lisbon), attended the event and presented her research within the framework of the CANMILK project. During the poster session, she showcased her study entitled “Oxygen-Atom Surface Recombination on Pyrex: An Initial Step in Modeling Methane Mitigation Using Plasma-Catalysts.”
Her work focuses on mesoscopic modelling of atomic oxygen adsorption and recombination on Pyrex surfaces, using LoKI-C simulations and analytical Fortran modelling to advance understanding of plasma-catalyst interactions relevant to methane mitigation.
Participation in the school provided a valuable opportunity to share research progress and engage with other international groups working in plasma physics.
