I study how welded joints, coatings, and robots behave under heat, corrosion, wear, and real-world use, and I build the things I study.

PCGTAW joint with ER307 filler: epitaxial dendritic growth, an asymmetric hardness profile peaking at 267 HV, and a mechanically sound, ductile-failing joint.

Pulsed-GTAW joints for thermal power plant piping: metallography, structural integrity, and molten salt hot corrosion behaviour.

Comparing ERNiCrMo-3 (GTAW) and E9018 B9 (SMAW) fillers in a Na₂SO₄+60% V₂O₅ molten salt environment at 770°C for 50 cycles.

First-author study on compression ratio and cerium oxide nanoparticle effects on diesel engine performance, optimized with RSM.

Fe–Ni/SiO₂ core-shell reinforced coatings cutting wear rate by up to 94% and friction by 63% at 400°C.

ANSYS and Fusion 360 study finding an 8% heat flux improvement from a gyroid lattice core versus a solid fin, at lower material weight.

A spatially graded, AI-optimized activated flux for autogenous laser welding of dissimilar P91 and AISI 904L piping.

A UV, spray, and mop sanitization robot with four AI modules pushing navigation accuracy from 82% to 95%.
