    Feb 28 2025

    In this episode Xue receives Ayah and she will tel us about her PhD-thesis: the plasma-semiconductor frontier. Her research focuses on surface semiconducting barrier discharges, a type of plasma that propagates on a silicon surface. She aims to understand the physics behind this phenomenon, which has potential industrial applications. Ayah finds the PhD challenging, especially due to the difficulty of maintaining work-life balance. Don’t be scared, she will explain everything! Bon voyage !
