 Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Plasma Processing Science is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new and unpublished data and cutting edge ideas in an non-intimidating environment. GRS is a great opportunity for students to gain conference experience by presenting their research among peers within the plasma community while at the same time learning and networking with one another. The focus of this GRS is on the diagnostics, modeling and other research for the various applications of non-thermal and non-equilibrium plasmas.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Plasma Processing Science" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
