Diagnostics of fusion plasmas

In this field the main aims of the research work are to study and develop different diagnostic methods and contribute in experimental data processing. The research programme is realized in the strong national and international cooperation with recognized institutions: Wigner Research Centre for Physics of Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Department of Nuclear Techniques of Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Institute for Plasma Physics of the Czech Republic, Academy of Sciences in Prague, and the Swiss Central Research Institute in Lausanne.

Financial support of the department: ~ 1 million HUF/year (EU)

Head of our university research group: Dr. Miklós Berta PhD, associate professor (bertam@sze.hu)

ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY RESEARCH


The Environmental Chemistry Research Group was founded in 2012 with the support of the Széchenyi István University Main Research Direction Grant. The main aim of the research group in 2013 was to assess the concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heavy metals in surface water and sediment samples collected in Northwest Hungary.
