Divisional representatives
(2016-2019)The ASEVA scientific committee has an important mission. Their representatives are nominated directly by the executive board, and they are persons that know the community that they represent. They are the people in charge of giving scientific or technological content to our society. As an example, they will provide names of relevant scientists for invited conferences, evaluate the different awards and propose organization of workshops or schools in their fields. Moreover, the ASEVA representatives in IUVSTA divisions are chosen among them.
Currently, the scientific areas of operation of ASEVA and their representatives are:
Plasma and gas-phase physics and chemistry
Gas discharges, plasma sources, plasma diagnostics, plasma kinetics, plasma-surface interactions, plasma processing, fusion, gas phase reactions, lab-astrophysics
