UKLA History – International Symposium on High Pressure Low Temperature Plasma Chemistry

The UKLA was created in memory of Dr. Ulrich Kogelschatz, one of the founders of the HAKONE Symposium in 2016. It is intended to honor the awardee for his/her significant contribution to basic research on high pressure low temperature plasma chemistry and/or for the use of this knowledge in applications. The award winner should be a globally well-recognized research personality who has made significant long-term contributions to the development of the research field.

The previous award winners are:

2024: Prof. Giorgio Dilecce

For his excellent research in the field of diagnostics of non-thermal plasmas at elevated pressures and his outstanding contribution to the understanding of these discharges

2022: Dr. Françoise Massines

For her outstanding contribution to the understanding of uniform barrier discharge regimes and its application in surface deposition

2018: Prof. Akira Mizuno

For his outstanding contributions to the application of electrostatic and non-thermal plasma technologies in health and environmental protection.
