| PI Contribution | This research programme is interested in chemical activation in low temperature oxidation chemistry. In this collaboration, we have provided atmospheric pressure plasma jets to study oxidation of simple hydrocarbons. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Our partner has provided state of the art mid-infrared frequency combs with which to spectroscopically interrogate hydrocarbon carrying plasma jets. |
| Impact | The results of these initial studies will be published in a forthcoming Master thesis. |
