Professor Felipe Iza

Background

Felipe Iza received the B.S. degree in engineering from the University of Navarra, San Sebastian (Spain), in 1997, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the Northeastern University, Boston MA (USA), in 2001 and 2004, respectively.

From 1997 to 1999, he was with the Centro de Estudios e Investigaciones Tecnicas de Guipuzcoa, San Sebastian (Spain). From 2004 to 2006, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow with Pohang University of Science and Technology, Pohang (Rep. Korea), where he became a Research Professor in 2006. Since 2007, he has been with Loughborough University, U.K., where he is a Professor of Low-temperature Plasma Science and Engineering in the School of Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering. He has served as Director of Postgraduate Research, deputy Associate Dean for Research and Open Research Lead for the school. He is also the founding technical director of Zayndu Ltd.

His research interest is focused on experimental and computational low-temperature plasma physics and engineering, with special attention to microplasmas and atmospheric discharges for biomedical, agricultural and environmental applications. 

Prof. Iza is a Fulbright alumnus, a member of the American Vacuum Society (AVS), the Institute of Physics (IoP) and a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He has served as Program Committee Member (Division of Plasma Science and Technology) of AVS’09 and the UK Technological Plasma Workshops TPW'08-'19, as treasurer and local organising committee chair of ICOPS 2012, as local organising committee member and co-chair of the UK Pulsed Power Symposium 2014 & 2019, as chair of the 46th IOP Plasma Physics Conference and as management committee member of the European COST actions TD1208 and CA19110. He also serves in the scientific committee of the Symposium on Plasma Physics and Technology and the International Workshop on Microplasmas and is an Associate Editor of Reviews of Modern Plasma Physics (Springer).
