Biography

Globally recognized as a leading expert in plasmas generated by microwaves, Michel Moisan was one of the first to understand their use for inactivating microorganisms on the surface of objects at low temperatures. This professor from the Department of Physics at the University of Montreal holds several major technological innovations, evidenced by the 31 patent families filed in his name. His work has advanced areas such as the destruction of greenhouse gases in microelectronics, sterilization of medical objects, and purification of rare gases. He has collaborated with numerous companies both domestically and internationally. The breadth and richness of his work are also reflected in the publication of 145 articles in prestigious journals, alongside his reference manual, "Physics of Collisionless Plasmas: Applications to High-Frequency Discharges," which he co-authored. An advocate for interdisciplinarity, Michel Moisan continues to influence plasma process development globally. His discoveries regarding plasma sterilization have had significant repercussions, particularly in France, where he is one of the co-founders of the International Laboratory of Technologies and Applications of Plasmas.
