He studied materials science with a focus on thin film materials, focussing in his PhD on process equipment and design of room-temperature deposited coating. As post-doc, he was employed to scale up deposition process from laboratory to industrially useable process for industrial partners.
During his work, he was focusing on:
- coating materials:
common coating metals, their nitrides, oxides and carbonitrides (Ti, Cr, Zr, Si, V, W, Al, TiAl, Ag, Au, Pd, Cu, Mn, DLC (C))
- coating processes:
PVD like magnetron sputtering (RF, DC, pulsed), pulsed laser deposition, arc and electron beam evaporation, ion-assisted deposition
ion pretreatment from plasma etching to ion beam etching and deposition
PACVD (PECVD)
plasma polymerization
- coating characterization and coating properties:
adhesion, thickness, optical appearance and opto-electronic properties, tribological properties (wear, friction), corrosion, biomedical properties (cell and protein adhesion, bacteria adhesion), gas permeation, etc.
- coating application:
tribology, biomedical (implants, medical devices), corrosion-protection, optics and opto-electronics, decoration, gas barriers, etc.
