Prof. Qingsong Yu

Prof. Dr. Qingsong Yu currently serves as a Professor at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Missouri, Columbia, MO, USA. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in chemical engineering from the University of Missouri, in 1995 and 1998, respectively. His research has been focused on non-thermal plasma technology and its application in materials science and engineering, including mechanistic investigation of plasma chemistry, surface modification of engineering materials, and plasma deposition of thin films. His recent research focuses on an emerging research area, i.e., plasma medicine/dentistry that investigates atmospheric non-thermal plasmas for biomedical applications. He has published over 120 peer-reviewed journal papers, nine invited review articles/book chapters, and five patents. His research has been funded by the University of Missouri Research Board, the National Science Foundation, the Boeing Company and the National Institutes of Health.
