Cormac Corr

A/Prof Cormac Corr is a Fellow at The Australian National University, affiliated with the Physics department. His research focuses on technological plasmas, plasma processing, plasma diagnostics, and plasma instabilities. He has conducted extensive work on electronegative plasmas, plasma-surface interactions, and plasma modeling. Corr has also explored magnetised plasmas, fusion plasmas, and high-beta plasmas, including Alfven waves and drift waves. He teaches Electromagnetism and plasma physics courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Corr obtained his honours degree in Applied Physics and PhD in plasma physics from Queens University Belfast and has worked at the Laboratoire de Physique et Technologie des Plasmas in Paris. He was awarded an ARC Future Fellowship in 2010.

Cormac Corr is a researcher at the Australian National University specializing in plasma physics, with a focus on plasma-surface interactions, negative ion plasma, and plasma diagnostics. His work explores phenomena such as double layers in expanding plasmas, ion beam formation, and the behavior of inductively coupled plasmas. Corr has contributed to the design and characterization of experimental setups like the Magnetized Plasma Interaction Experiment (MAGPIE), which is used for plasma-material interaction studies. His research also includes the development of novel diagnostic techniques for plasma density measurement and the investigation of discharge kinetics in oxygen and chlorine plasmas. Additionally, he has studied negative ions in fluorocarbon plasmas and their role in plasma-surface interactions.
