Driven by a passion to help build affordable, healthy living environments for society, SurfPlasma was founded by Dr. Subrata Roy—an American scientist of Indian origin. Growing up in India, he witnessed firsthand the urgent need for accessible, clean technologies, which continues to inspire his work today. A professor of aerospace engineering at the University of Florida, Dr. Roy leads the Applied Physics Research Group (APRG) and is a pioneer in plasma science, with over 40 patents and 200+ publications. He is a Fellow of the U.S. National Academy of Inventors, the Royal Academy of Engineering, and the Royal Aeronautical Society. SurfPlasma, a University of Florida spinout, is revolutionizing sterilization through cutting-edge plasma physics.
