Imagine Yourself at UCMerced

GERARDO DIAZ Professor Ph.D., University of Notre Dame

Professor Gerardo Diaz is conducting important research into plasma gasification, a process by which waste is converted into gas that can be used for energy. Diaz and his research team are studying and testing a plasma unit in hopes of eventually using it on campus as a way of moving UC Merced toward its ambitious goals in operational sustainability. “UC Merced is literally a ‘living laboratory’ due to the number of state-of-the-art technologies being tested that are actually used to provide services during the normal operation of the campus.”
