Research Interests
Professor Yalin's research focuses on the study of fundamental processes and applications of atmospheric pressure plasmas, such as glow discharge plasmas and RF-driven plasmas. Research also focuses on the development and application of advanced optical and laser diagnostics, such as cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS), filtered Thomson scattering (FTS), and filtered Rayleigh scattering (FRS).
