8TH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON MICROPLASMAS
The 8th International Workshop on Microplasmas (IWM 2015) was held from May 11-15, 2015 at Seton Hall University, Seton Hall Law School campus, located in Newark, New Jersey. The IWM is hosted by the Department of Physics of the College of Arts & Sciences and the Gibbons Institute, Science & Technology Law of Seton Hall University. The German-French collaboration between GREMI (Orléans) and RUB (Bochum) continues and was being strengthened overseas as well as you can see on the photo: PhD students Judith Golda from RUB (right) together with Valentin Felix from GREMI (left).
Prof. Dr. Remi Dussart (GREMI) gave an invited talk about the common resarch topic "Performances
and instabilities of silicon based microdischarges".

MAE MOURNS LOSS OF PROFESSOR WALTER LEMPERT
The Research Department Plasma is deeply saddened by the passing of Prof. Walter Lempert on April 11, 2015. He collaborated closely for many years with Prof. Uwe Czarnetzki and his group at EP5. He will be greatly missed.
"The department was deeply saddened by the passing of Walter Lempert on April 11, 2015.
Lempert was a faculty member in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and co-director of the Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics Laboratory (NETL), a major research laboratory containing state-of-the-art computational and experimental facilities among the most advanced at any U.S. university.
The NETL thrust area is energy, fluid and thermal systems, studying effective fuel use, reduced emissions, improved performance and cost effectiveness – critically important industrial and societal goals. Lempert and his colleagues led research and education focused on analytical, computational and experimental techniques for achieving these goals.
Lempert’s primary research was on the application of atomic and molecular spectroscopy to problems of engineering interest, inherently interdisciplinary, combining such diverse subjects as nonlinear optics, fluid mechanics, plasma physics and energy transfer. He is a notable author of numerous publications, papers and presentations helping to enhance the department’s reputation in energy, fluid and thermal systems.
Lempert left an indelible mark at Ohio State and a legacy of dedicated excellence in education and research. His cheerful personality, friendliness and warmth among faculty, staff and students will be greatly missed."

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON METALLURGICAL COATINGS AND THIN FILMS (ICMCTF)
The International Conference on Metallurgical Coatings and Thin Films (ICMCTF) is internationally recognized as the premier international conference focused on thin-film deposition, characterization, and advanced surface engineering. It brings together scientists, engineers, and technologists from academia, government laboratories, and industry, thereby merging cutting-edge research with real-world applications. The conference consistently draws more than 700 attendees each year within 37 oral technical sessions and a well-attended poster session.
It took part in San Diego from April 20th-24th, 2015. Postdoc Dr. Ante Hecimovic (Experimental Physics II) gave a presentation entitled "Plasma oscillations and ion transport in DC and HiPIMS magnetron discharges". He was also a session chair on a topical symposia "Plasma diagnostic and modelling". At the end, he has organised a round table disccusion on "Plasma diagnostic and modelling techniques for improved understanding of deposition process".
Prof. Dr. Peter Awakowicz and his PhD student Stefan Ries participated at ICMCTF as well.

ÉCOLE DE PHYSIQUE DES HOUCHES: FUNDAMENTALS OF AERODYNAMIC FLOW AND COMBUSTION CONTROL BY PLAMAS
Dr. Volker Schulz-von der Gathen (EP2, RUB) gives a talk about "Dynamics of the discharge evolution of micro discharge arrays" at the École de Physique des Houches in France (from April 12, 2015 to April 17, 2015).
This conference is the fifth of a cycle of conferences dedicated to the fundamental issues in the scientific disciplines relevant to aeronautics and space development. The previous editions of this workshop were held in Villa Monastero, Italy (2007), Les Houches (2009 & 2011) and Aussois (2013). The program will feature twenty invited lectures. Presentations will again address fundamental issues, experimental challenges, measurement methods and advanced numerical simulation.
The conference is managed by a team from the Paris region, with Svetlana Starikovskaia (Chairperson, Laboratoire de Physique des Plasmas, Ecole Polytechnique), Christophe Laux (vice-Chair, Ecole Centrale de Paris), Jean-Pierre Taran (local organisation, Onera) and a Steering Committee composed of leading scientists in the field.
The program of invited lectures can be found here.
