Dr. Bhagirath Ghimire Principal Research Scientist I, CSPAR Contact 1030 John Wright WayJohnson Research CenterRoom 201Huntsville, AL 35899 Campus Map 256.824.2865bg0073@uah.edu Biography Dr. Bhagirath Ghimire received his PhD in Physics from Kwangwoon University, South Korea in 2019.Then he worked as a senior Research Associate at Lancaster University in the United Kingdom. InSeptember 2021, he joined University of Alabama in Huntsville and is currently employed as a PrincipalResearch Scientist at CSPAR. Dr. Ghimire’s research at UAH is mainly focused on atmospheric pressure plasma diagnostics, plasma-surface interactions, and application of plasmas. He currently leads the projects on atmosphericpressure plasma and also works with collaborators for application of plasmas in biology, agriculturescience, food science, physics and chemistry.
