David Zenon Jacome-Moreira

David Zenon Jacome-Moreira (October 19, 1988) is a experimental plasma physicist born in Manta, Ecuador. He is CEO/founder of Physics Connection, a group focused on getting students involved in science outreach and global communications. Physics Connection strives to get students involved in the science fields and Engineering. The Center for MicroPlasma Science and Technology at Saint Peter's College supports outreach efforts to teach students the importance of getting bachelor degrees in science. As a way to bring awareness into organizations and the community, Jacome served as Chair for the Local Organizing Committee of the SPS Zone 3 and 7 Meeting at Saint Peter's College . Further, the Air Force Office of Scientific Research has funded the efforts to increase participation at National levels .
Over the past 4 years, he has worked with many organizations like the Society of Physics Students, American Physical Society, American Institute of Chemical Engineers, American Chemical Society, and American Society of Mechanical Engineering. He has served as President of the Saint Peter's College Society of Physics Students Chapter since August 2007 till February 2010. Other appointments have been at the National Society of Physics Students Council serving as Associate Zone 3 Councilor from August 2009 till May 2010. As Zone 3 Councilor he was charged with voting for a new Society of Physics Students diversity statement. The statement was voted and approved by Council in September 2009.
Jacome has conducted research at Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Plasma Science and Fusion Center. His work involved installing a "Python Graphical User Interface for Control of the Levitated Dipole Experiment".
His current research interests are in the study of capillary electrode discharges
(CPE) for large volume ozone (O3) generation for water purification processes. There has been studies done in confining plasma to dimensions of 1 mm or less as an
approach for the generation and maintenance of stable, glow plasma discharges at
atmospheric or higher pressures. Main research interests include CPE operation and boundary dominated microplasmas with the use and effect of different dielectric materials and
pulsed electrical power.
Jacome obtained his Bachelor of Science S.B. in Physics with a minor in Mathematics, "Licenciado en Física y Matemáticas" from in May 2010 under the supervision of Jose Lopez. He currently attends Stevens Institute of Technology finishing his Master of Science/Doctor of Philosophy Ph.D. in Applied Physics.
