معرفی
Mohamed Ezzat Mostafa is a Post-Doctoral Associate at ETH Zurich's Institute of Geophysics, part of the School of Earth and Planetary Sciences (D-EAPS). His research focuses on developing Plasma-Pulse Geo-Drilling (PPGD) technology, combining numerical modeling and experimental work to advance geothermal energy solutions. He holds a PhD from ETH Zurich (2024), an MSc in Fusion Plasma from Ghent University and Stuttgart University (2018), and a BSc in Physics from Mansoura University (2015).
His expertise includes multi-physics modeling, high-voltage experiments, and data analysis. Key projects include the Innosuisse-funded PPGD initiative, which explores rock breakdown mechanisms under extreme conditions. Mohamed collaborates with academic and industrial partners, contributing to interdisciplinary research in geothermal energy and plasma physics.
Publications highlight advancements in plasma dynamics, rock mechanics, and fusion-related heat flux scaling. He actively organizes plasma physics education initiatives in Egypt, co-founding the Egyptian Plasma Society and leading workshops. His work bridges fundamental plasma science with applied geothermal engineering, aiming to reduce drilling costs for deep geothermal systems.
