Industrial Plasma Processes
and Diagnostics 2026

Theme Overview

For any plasma-based societal application, one has to develop a process known as plasma process using the device called a plasma source. The diagnostic tools are used to aid in the understanding of plasma physics and chemistry, so that processes and hardware can be optimised. Plasma diagnostic techniques are also sought after to serve as sensors for process control in different industries aimed at societal growth and development.

Scientific Scope

Plasma is widely recognised as a powerful tool with applications ranging from everyday technologies to advanced scientific research. One of the most ambitious goals in plasma science is the realisation of sustainable green energy through nuclear fusion. Alongside fusion research, considerable attention has been devoted to low-temperature plasmas and their societal applications.

Operating from low pressure to atmospheric conditions, these plasmas have emerged as versatile platforms for applications in energy, electronics, agriculture, biomedical engineering, food preservation, and textiles. In the energy and environmental sectors, plasma technologies are increasingly explored for hydrogen production, plasma-assisted combustion, carbon dioxide conversion, waste treatment, and pollution control.

For practical implementation, plasma processes must be carefully designed and controlled through optimised process recipes governed by plasma parameters and the energy of plasma species. Advanced plasma diagnostic techniques and computational modelling therefore play a crucial role in understanding plasma behaviour and optimising processing conditions.

The major application of low-temperature plasmas is the synthesis and modification of thin films for industrial technologies. Plasma-based deposition techniques, such as Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) and Magnetron Sputtering, enable the fabrication of advanced thin-film functional materials with controlled composition, structure, and surface properties. Fundamental studies combining plasma diagnostics, experiments, and numerical simulations are essential for molecular-scale control of film growth and the development of next-generation nanoscale materials for aerospace, defence, energy, and environmental applications.

Indian Institute of Technology Delhi

Indian Institute of Technology Delhi is one of the 23 IITs created to be Centres of Excellence for training, research and development in science, engineering and technology in India.

Established as College of Engineering in 1961, the Institute was later declared as an Institution of National Importance under the "Institutes of Technology (Amendment) Act, 1963" and was renamed as "Indian Institute of Technology Delhi". It was then accorded the status of a Deemed University with powers to decide its own academic policy, to conduct its own examinations, and to award its own degrees.

Since its inception, over 60,000 have graduated from IIT Delhi in various disciplines including Engineering, Physical Sciences, Management and Humanities & Social Sciences. Of these, nearly 5,070 received Ph.D. degrees. The number of students who graduated with B.Tech. degree is over 15,738. These alumni today work as scientists, technologists, business managers and entrepreneurs, contributing significantly to the nation and to industrialisation around the world.

Plasma Lab at IIT Delhi

The Plasma Lab was initiated in 1980 and has been working on various scientific and technological studies on a wide variety of plasma sources for societal needs and national interest. The lab is housed in the Department of Energy Science and Engineering (DESE) and conducts research in industrial plasma processes, diagnostics, thin-film deposition, and plasma-based applications in healthcare, agriculture, and energy.

The following will be served at the conference venue during the conference:

IIT Delhi is located in Hauz Khas, South Delhi, and is well connected by air, rail, and road.
