Martin Rudolph

Martin Rudolph is a plasma physicist at the Leibniz Institute for Surface Modification (IOM), where he co-leads the cross-sectional unit "Modeling and Simulation" since 2023. His work bridges experimental plasma diagnostics (e.g., imaging, emission spectroscopy) with computational modeling and machine learning to optimize plasma processes for thin-film deposition and functional oxide synthesis.

• Education: PhD in Plasma Physics from Université Paris-Saclay (2017), M.Sc. in Space Science and Technology from Luleå Tekniska Universitet (Sweden), Master's in Physics and Astrophysics from Université Paul Sabatier (France)

Research Focus: Deciphering plasma mechanisms through experimental diagnostics and machine learning-driven modeling, targeting HiPIMS and atmospheric-pressure plasmas. His work emphasizes computational efficiency for exploring plasma parameter spaces and optimizing industrial applications.

Publication Trends: Recent articles highlight magnetic field tuning in DC/HiPIMS discharges, oxygen incorporation effects in thin films, and atmospheric plasma conversion of organics to oxides. Sub-fields include spoke dynamics, precursor layer engineering, and electron transport modeling.

Labs & Teams: Collaborates with international researchers across institutions like Université Paris-Saclay, Luleå Tekniska Universitet, and Université Paul Sabatier. Core team member in IOM's "Modeling and Simulation" unit, focusing on plasma-surface interactions and industrial applications.
