About Muzammil Iqbal

Welcome to PlasmaScholar.com

I’m a scientific researcher and R&D engineer with a Ph.D. in Materials Physics & Chemistry (Dalian University of Technology, 2018), following master’s degrees in Physics and Nanotechnology. My work spans non‑equilibrium plasma science and technology—covering atmospheric‑pressure discharges, plasma–liquid interactions, and low‑pressure inductively coupled plasmas.

At Stamicarbon (NEXTCHEM/MAIRE) in Sittard, I focus on process electrification for sustainable chemicals and fertilizers. My role covers end‑to‑end R&D (from concept to commissioning), process design (PFD/P&ID, CAPEX/OPEX), techno‑economic assessments (TEA), and robust SOP/HSE/control plans, working across industry–academia partners and contributing to intellectual property.

Previously, at BrightSite PlasmaLab (Maastricht University), I developed high‑pressure microwave plasma capabilities and diagnostics. Earlier, as a postdoc at the Korea Institute of Machinery & Materials (KIMM), I worked on plasma electrolysis, nitrogen fixation, and C1→C2 conversion, and during my Ph.D. I investigated RF‑pulsed plasmas for surface modification and thin‑film deposition.

I’m experienced in reactor design, process engineering, plasma treatment and diagnostics, and in using analytical tools such as UV–Vis, optical emission spectroscopy (OES), FTIR, mass spectrometry, ion chromatography, SEM, XPS, and XRD.
