Offer Description Conduct research in plasma physics applied to oncology, focusing on two cancer models: cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The research aims to understand the mechanisms of plasma-cell interactions.
Design and execute experimental protocols to study the effects of cold plasmas (generated via dielectric barrier discharge or plasma jets) on cancer cells and surrounding tissues.
Analyze experimental data to investigate the biological effects of cold plasmas on cancer cells.
Develop physical models to predict plasma interactions with cancer cells and surrounding tissues.
