High Entropy Materials-Based Coatings

Dr. Kamalan Kirubaharan Amirtharaj Mosas is a researcher at Alexander Dubcek University in Trencin, Slovakia, developing superalloy coatings for high-temperature applications. He has a background in ceramic coatings for corrosion and high-temperature applications, high entropy materials, ceramic matrix composites, and metal/ceramic thin films created using various physical vapor deposition (PVD) processes. He has prior experience with thermal evaporation, electron beam physical vapor deposition (EBPVD), pulsed laser deposition (PLD), and RF/DC magnetron sputtering systems. During the years 2019-2024, he received 8 sponsored projects from the defense and aerospace sectors, as well as one institutional funding for product development and commercialization. He has published 80 papers with more than 1000 citations and holds 9 Indian patents. He has served as a guest editor for Ceramics-MDPI, Coatings-MDPI, and Frontiers in Materials journals and a reviewer for a number of prestigious publications.Assoc. Prof. Amirhossein Pakseresht is an associate professor and the head of the coating department at the FunGlass Centre for Functional and Surface Functionalized Glass at the Alexander Dubek University of Trencin in Slovakia. His research interests are plasma spraying, including splat morphology and novel thermal barrier coatings. He has also actively participated in multidisciplinary materials research, specifically surface science, anti-corrosion coatings, and composite materials. Recently, he received major grants for developing high entropy ceramics based TBCs and pyrochlore-based TBCs through plasma spray method. Prof. Pakseresht authored four edited books, especially for high-temperature applications, which were published in Springer Nature and IGI Global. He has approximately 85 journal papers, 5 patents, and 5 international book chapters that have been cited 3300 times (h-index 31) as of 2024. He serves on the editorial boards of several international scientific journals and serves as a reviewer for more than ten of them.
