Materials & surface engineering

From ceramic feedstocks to particle structure.

Research-led work connecting ceramic materials, spray behaviour and microstructure — with a focus on thermal-spray and coating-related applications.

Materials. Process. Evidence.

01 /Core capabilities

Materials knowledge. Process understanding.

Four connected areas of technical work, grounded in characterization and research.

01

Ceramic feedstock engineering

Slurry formulation and porous ceramic microspheres, including HAP and YSZ research systems.

Formulation / precursor design
02

Spray-process characterization

Electrostatic spraying, cone-jet stability and high-speed imaging of atomization regimes.

Spray behaviour / process analysis
03

Particle & microstructure analysis

Particle-size distributions, morphology, pore structure and ceramic microsphere cross-sections.

Structure / characterization
04

Computational workflows

Python-based analysis and materials-modeling tools, supported by engineering CAD workflows.

Analysis / modeling / engineering
