About the Speaker

Prof. Zdenko Machala, D.Sc. from the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics of Comenius University Bratislava has a background in plasma physics. His research is focused on various environmental, biomedical, and agriculture applications of non-thermal (cold) atmospheric plasma. He pioneers new research areas of plasma-liquid interactions, their optical diagnostics, transport of plasma active species into water, and fundamental mechanisms of physico-chemical and biomedical processes of cold plasma interaction with live cells and animal/plant organisms. He has served as a president of the International Society for Plasma Medicine, was a work group leader in EU COST Action CA19110 Plasma for Sustainable Agriculture, and is responsible for the Environmental Physics study program at Comenius University Bratislava.
