Research & Publications
I keep this section separate from the biography for a simple reason: technical claims are more useful when the reader can see what stands behind them.
Publications and monographs
My publication background covers vacuum-plasma coatings, plasma chemistry, tribology, diffusion processes, nitriding, functional surfaces and applications to precision and aerospace components.
Some of the most relevant themes for the present consulting work are CVD/PVD coating processes, Mo-C and carbide-based tribological coatings, precision plasma nitriding, coatings for turbine components and high-precision gears.
Research profiles
Patents and applied IP
The patent base is connected mainly with vacuum-plasma and surface-engineering processes: precision nitriding, protective coatings, antifriction systems and coating of internal surfaces.
I do not use an old aggregate patent count as a headline unless the individual records and families are reconciled. The useful part is the technical lineage, not the number itself.
Editorial work
Editorial Board member, Journal of Technological and Space Plasmas.
People, publications, events and organizations
The working research layer is maintained as a graph rather than as disconnected lists. The public view below shows graph coverage only; individual source trails and row-level relationship edges stay private.
Node layers

Tracked edge types

These values describe coverage in People_Nodes. They are not a count of unique publications or events.
Technical notes
Short notes are where I put engineering questions that are too practical for a formal paper but too important to leave as a one-off discussion: vacuum acceptance, LPC versus gas carburizing, plasma nitriding in holes and cavities, tribological validation, hollow cathodes and supplier FAT logic.
These notes are written as working technical material, not as generic industry news.
Sources and verification
Publications, patents, project experience, company sources and conference material do not all carry the same weight. I try to show that difference instead of mixing everything into one credibility list. Primary sources and direct technical records are preferred where a claim matters.
Wider patent landscape
My own patents and the wider industry patent map serve different purposes. The first documents my applied IP background; the second follows technology development across companies, institutes and inventors in the global vacuum and plasma field.
The public landscape is organized by patent family and technology cluster, with links back to organizations in the Industrial Landscape where the connection has been verified.
Family-first approach
Priority date · member publications · assignee · inventors · CPC/IPC · mechanism · genealogy role · verification status.
Component-level cases
The most useful technical record is often not a bibliography entry but a component where the process, layer and validation method can be followed together. I have separated a set of published application cases from the broader publication list.
Examples
High-precision gears · gearbox separator · turbine blades · compressor blades · internal cooling cavities · tools · friction pairs.
