Dr. Niaz Wali is an Associate Professor at the School of Physics, Qilu Institute of Technology, China. He earned his Ph.D. in Physics from the School of Physics, Institute for Fusion Theory and Simulation, Zhejiang University (ranked 39th in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings), Hangzhou, China. Dr. Wali’s research primarily focuses on low-temperature plasma diagnostics and applications, as well as on cylindrical plasma linear magnetized devices.

He has developed a cost-effective method for generating non-thermal low-pressure capacitively coupled plasma using a low-frequency alternating current (AC) power supply, with applications in microbial decontamination and environmental processing. His research involves extensive use of Langmuir probes (single, triple, and quadruple) and optical emission spectroscopy to study plasma properties under both low-pressure and atmospheric conditions. Recently, Dr. Wali contributed to the development of an underwater discharge plasma configuration for large-flow water treatment at PPL CUI, Pakistan. His work also explores the diverse applications of plasma technology in agriculture, sterilization, and water purification.

Dr. Wali's contributions to the establishment of the Zheda Plasma Experiment Device (ZPED) laboratory were particularly notable, as it significantly advanced the research capabilities in the field of plasma physics at Zhejiang University.

Dr. Wali has authored 10 SCI-indexed publications in prestigious journals, including Physics of Plasmas, Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, and Case Studies in Thermal Engineering. Additionally, one of his papers has been accepted for publication, while two others are currently under review. His contributions to plasma physics have been substantial. Dr. Wali is also an active reviewer for several high-impact journals, such as Physics of Plasmas, IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, Lasers in Medical Science, and Journal of Optical and Quantum Electronics.
