RSSEL - Radiation Surface Science and Engineering Lab
Prof. Jean Paul Allain’s research group
At RSSEL we study the interaction of plasma and particle irradiation with inorganic and organic surfaces and interfaces from the nanoscale across the mesoscale to the macroscale. We achieve this by coupling in-situ and in-operando multi-particle and plasma-based modification.
