Job Beckers

Job Beckers is an Associate Professor at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) within the Elementary Processes in Gas Discharges group. His research focuses on particle-plasma interactions, including EUV-induced plasmas and dusty plasmas. He holds a MSc from TU/e (2007) and a PhD (cum laude, 2011) from TU/e, with postdoctoral work at Sydney University. He worked at XTREME Technologies (2011-2012) before joining TU/e as Assistant Professor, becoming Associate Professor thereafter. He received the NWO VIDI Grant in 2016.

Education highlights include internships at CERN, San Diego State University, Philips Lighting, and Océ. His expertise spans plasma physics, EUV lithography, and applied physics. He leads projects like 'Plasmas and Sonic Transients' (2024-2029) and 'MEMS materials in EUV-induced plasma' (2021-2026). He teaches courses on plasma technology and astrophysics.

Research interests emphasize fundamental plasma dynamics and applications, such as medical plasma filters for ostomy bags. He collaborates internationally and has published over 140 papers. His work aligns with UN SDGs through sustainable technology development.

Awards include the 2016 NWO VIDI Grant. His lab focuses on plasma diagnostics, including microwave cavity resonance spectroscopy and quantum dot charge sensing. He has supervised numerous students and actively participates in conferences and academic leadership roles.
