National Institute for Laser, Plasma and Radiation Physics |

INFLPR

The National Institute for Laser, Plasma & Radiation Physics (INFLPR) is an independent, national importance research institution established by the Government of Romania. INFLPR was founded in 1977, with the mission to advance the knowledge in several strategic areas of the sciences and technologies related to laser, plasma, and radiation physics. In 1996 INFLPR was reorganized to include the Institute of Space Sciences (ISS).

The institute employs 447 researchers and administrative staff to conduct frontier research ranging from basic photonic materials and high power lasers, nanomaterials and nanotechnologies, quantum dots and information technologies, plasma physics and X-ray microtomography to industrial photonics, biophotonics and plasma coatings. ISS branch conducts research on astrophysics, space engineering and gravitation.

INFLPR is pursuing advanced scientific research funded by national and international agencies, private institutions and enterprises.

INFLPR is currently a member of the EURATOM association, a partner in the Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI), partner in LASERLAB EUROPE, ALICE, and a leader in many projects funded by the EU, NATO, and other international organizations.

INFLPR's governing body is the Board of Trustees, which is assisted by the INFLPR Director and Board of Directors, and by a Scientific Advisory Board.

The Institute currently consists of six large research departments, the Center for Science Education and Training and ISS branch.

Dr. Alexandra Palla Papavlu, CS II, premiul al II-lea la concursul ”Tineri Cercetatori in stiinta si Inginerie”

28.06.2017

Dr. Alexandra Palla Papavlu, Cercetator stiintific II in cadrul INFLPR, a obtinut premiul al II-lea la cea de-a treia editie a concursului ”Tineri Cercetatori in stiinta si Inginerie” organizat de primaria municipiului Cluj-Napoca, impreuna cu prof. Rada Flavia Mihalcea de la University of Michigan, USA.

Dr. Alexandra Palla Papavlu este angajata a INFLPR din 2007. Si-a obtinut doctoratul in fizica la Universitatea din Craiova la varsta de 25 de ani, in 2010, urmand apoi un stagiu postdoctoral la Universitatea din Barcelona (2 ani), Spania, cu tematica “Procesare laser de biomolecule pentru realizarea de biosenzori”. A lucrat la Institutul Paul Scherrer din Elvetia cu o bursa SCIEX si ulterior la Laboratorul National Oak Ridge din Tennessee, USA printr- o bursa Fulbright, iar acum isi continua cariera la INFLPR unde studiaza aplicarea tehnicilor laser (LIFT, PLD, MAPLE) pentru fabricarea de dispozitive electronice si optoelectronice pentru electronica flexibila.

Sistem de curățare cu plasmă a suprafețelor de pe Marte

12.06.2017

Cercetătorii de la Institutul Național de Fizica Laserilor, Plasmei și Radiației au creat și testat un sistem de curățare a suprafețelor acoperite cu praf de pe Marte. Acesta se bazează pe generarea într-un gaz rarefiat a unei plasme prin aplicarea între doi electrozi co-axiali a unei diferențe de potențial suficiente pentru ionizarea gazului.
