Prof. Dr. Miran Mozetič, PhD, performs basic research in the surface engineering of solid materials using non-equilibrium gaseous plasma treatments. He obtained a Diploma Engineer degree in Physics, a Master of Sciences in Technical Sciences, and a PhD in Electronic Vacuum Technologies. He is the leader of the research team currently consisting of about 30 scientists, engineers, and technicians. The team examines basic phenomena in plasma-surface interaction and develops technologies for industrial applications. He was granted several prizes and awards for innovative solutions, which are often disclosed in patents granted worldwide. The scientific approach to plasma technologies enables the optimization of processing parameters and upscaling of the appropriate range of parameters to large reactors. His team is among the leading groups in tailoring surface properties of polymers and polymer composites on both experimental and industrial scales.
