Olivier J.A.P. van Rooij

Olivier J.A.P. van Rooij is a researcher affiliated with Eindhoven University of Technology's School of Applied Physics and Science Education, specializing in Elementary Processes in Gas Discharges. His work focuses on non-thermal plasmas and their interactions with targets, particularly in atmospheric conditions. He contributed to the 'Plasma for Plants' project (2019–2024), investigating plasma applications in agriculture and environmental contexts.

Van Rooij holds a Bachelor’s degree (2016) and a Master’s degree (2019) from TU Eindhoven, both in Applied Physics. His research integrates experimental and computational methods, addressing plasma dynamics, surface interactions, and environmental applications. Notable contributions include studies on plasma-treated water analysis, discharge regimes in contact with water, and plasma jet propagation on dielectric surfaces.

His publications span topics such as electron density measurement, plasma-liquid interactions, and shielding gas effects. He has presented findings at international conferences, including plenary talks on plasma-target interactions and invited lectures on kHz plasma jet behavior. Collaborations with institutions like TU Eindhoven and international researchers highlight his network in plasma physics and engineering.
