Declan Diver is a professor at the University of Glasgow in the School of Physics and Astronomy, specializing in plasma physics. His research interests focus on low-temperature technological plasmas and their nonlinear dynamics. His work encompasses a range of topics including electron avalanches, ionization waves, and streamer formation in low temperature plasmas, particularly those relevant to atmospheric pressure environments such as dielectric barrier discharges and the interaction of energetic particle beams with thunderclouds. Diver's research also explores the complex interactions present in fluid and relativistic plasmas, including the coupling of plasma with neutral gases in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and the dynamics of solar plasmas. In addition to his theoretical work, he is involved in numerical simulations that support his studies on the kinetic properties of plasma and interactions at critical ionization speeds.
