About Mathieu Kassir
I’m an experimental physicist and technical specialist with hands-on expertise in plasma diagnostics, high-voltage systems, and vacuum technologies. I hold a PhD in Plasma Physics focused on microwave plasma spectroscopy and methane reforming, and I’ve since applied my skills across research, education, and early-stage technology development.I’ve designed and operated plasma discharges (microwave, DC, and DBD), implemented optical emission and infrared diagnostics, and built automated test platforms from concept to operation. My experience spans both research and prototyping environments—from developing plasma sterilization systems for COVID-19 mitigation to leading R&D for a plasma-powered jet engine.At Princeton University’s Plasma Physics Lab, I managed laboratory operations, repaired and modernized experimental setups, oversaw 3D prototyping, and led DOE workforce development programs connecting underrepresented students and institutions with hands-on plasma research. I thrive at the intersection of physics, engineering, and education—building systems that work, teams that grow, and science that inspires.I’m open to opportunities in experimental R&D, plasma engineering, scientific instrumentation, or fusion energy where I can combine technical rigor with creative problem-solving.
