The Plasma Engineering Research Lab, which is located in the Engineering
Research Center on the foothills campus of Colorado State University, has been
developed by Dr. Paul J. Wilbur and
students who have worked in it over the past 25 years. Research is focused on
broad beam ion sources and their components for both space-based and terrestrial
applications as well as the performance of surfaces treated using the terrestrial
sources.
Current areas of research include:
- Space Ion Thruster Research
- Plasma Contactor Research
- Ion-Beam Processing and Tribology
A list of papers describing research from this lab is also included here.
