Includes surface functionalization studies for nickel oxide electrodes and high-performance supercapacitor architectures.
Targets functional performance through precision anodization and surface modification on titanium and aluminum alloys.
Covers the development of nickel-matrix composite coatings reinforced with diamond, c-BN and SiC.
Focuses on validating engineered surfaces under aggressive conditions such as cavitation-corrosion and high-temperature oxidation/corrosion.
Develops oxide and hybrid coating solutions that reduce stray-current-induced wear in EV components.
Develops high-performance thin films based on nitride superlattices, multilayers and nanocomposite architectures.
Covers thin-film filters, functional sensing surfaces and multilayer architectures for optical control.
Applies metallization strategies on diverse substrates through laser-activated electroless deposition and multi-step surface preparation.
Adopts more efficient and lower-impact approaches in plating baths, process validation and electrochemical testing.
Targets a data-oriented and repeatable laboratory infrastructure for production, characterization and process monitoring.
