Kari Niemi is a research fellow at the Centre for Plasma Physics at Queen's University Belfast since February 2008. Prior to this he held research fellow posts at Ruhr-University Bochum (Germany) and University of Essen (Germany), where he obtained his PhD in 2003.
Current research interests include: Laser and potical diagnostics of non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma jets, measurement of light atomic species' densities and molecular emission spectroscopy in low pressure capacitively or inductively coupled radio-frequency plasmas (CCP/ICP) and micro-scale radio-frequency atmospheric pressure plasma jets (APPJ).
Diagnostic techniques include: Laser-induced fluorescence spectrospcy (LIF) with single and two-photon excitation, optical emission spectroscopy (OES) also with ns-resolution cameras.
