Seminar on " Plasma and Its Applications"

The Faculty of Engineering organized a seminar titled "Plasma Physics and Its Applications," presented by Dr. Azza Taleb, Associate Professor at the Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority. The seminar was held as part of the Seminar Course for second-year students at the university's Knowledge City campus in the New Administrative Capital, attended by faculty members and students.

The event was organized by Dr. Mohamed Ismail, Assistant Professor of Physics and Student Activities Coordinator at the Faculty of Engineering, and supervised by Dr. Nader Mansour, Associate Professor and Head of the Mechatronics Engineering Program at the Faculty.

During the seminar, Dr. Azza Taleb explained that plasma is the fourth state of matter, following solid, liquid, and gas, as the ionized state of matter, noting that 99.9% of the universe is composed of plasma.

Dr. Taleb discussed the nature of plasma, its presence in the universe and different atmospheric layers, and its importance in communication sciences. She also explained how plasma is generated in laboratories and its various applications, particularly in electronics manufacturing.

Dr. Taleb conducted a simple experiment to generate plasma in the air using basic tools, which captivated and engaged the students.Dr. Mohamed Ismail described the seminar as fascinating and highly engaging, as it effectively connected theory with practical demonstration through a live experiment. This approach sparked significant interaction among students, creating an inspiring and interactive learning environment. He expressed his gratitude to Dr. Azza Taleb for her valuable contribution to the students' educational journey.

Dr. Nader Mansour emphasized the university’s commitment to hosting prominent scientists in various scientific fields directly related to EUI students' studies.
