Welcome to the Plasma Engineering and Non-equilibrium Processing Laboratory at Texas A&M University.
Our lab focuses on the experimental study of microscale and low-temperature plasmas, as well as devices that generate or interact with plasmas. Our work has broad applications—ranging from medical treatments and electronics manufacturing to energy conversion and environmental cleanup. We study non-thermal plasmas, microplasmas, nanoplasmas, and plasma behavior in gases and liquids. You can explore more about these topics on our Research Topics page or through our publications.
This site is designed to share our work, spark interest in plasma science, and connect with others who are curious about or working in this field. We hope to inspire future scientists and engineers while welcoming opportunities for collaboration. Our mission is to conduct fundamental research on the physics of plasmas – the fourth state of matter – and leveraging its unique properties to develop advanced plasma-based technologies for a better future.
Please take a moment to explore the site to learn more about plasmas, our research, and the people behind it. If you have any questions or are interested in working with us, feel free to contact us at dstaack@tamu.edu.
Thanks for visiting and we hope you enjoy your time here!
