2. Engineering Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 for microbial terpenoid production
Abstract : As part of the efforts to develop a carbon-neutral economy, photosynthetic microorganisms such as cyanobacteria have been extensively studied as solar-powered cell factories for the production of organic compounds with industrial interest, using the atmospheric CO2 as carbon source.Among other metabolites, cyanobacteria produce terpenoids, a diverse group of natural products that play pivotal roles in the cell.

5. Plasma characterisation in high power pulsed magnetron sputtering
Abstract : In this thesis, plasma parameters including plasma and floating potentials, electron energy distribution function (EEDF) plasma density and electron temperature are studied in a high power pulsed magnetron (HPPM) discharge at different Argon (Ar) gas pressures and different magnetron powers. It is reported that the EEDF during and shortly after the pulse can be represented by a bi-Maxwellian distribution indicating two energy groups of electrons. READ MORE
