I am a Lead Scientist (Dr.-Ing.) at M.N. Mikheev Institute of Metal Physics, Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IPM UB RAS, Russia) and Ural Federal University named after the First President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin (UrFU, Russia). My research interests encompass a broad range of materials science topics, including additive manufacturing, laser cladding, welding and related processes, as well as innovative technology for synthesis of micro-/nanoporous biomedical Ti-based materials – liquid metal dealloying.
I am a researcher at the M.N. Mikheev Institute of Metal Physics, Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IPM UB RAS, Russia). My research focuses on developing novel materials for various industrial applications, merging materials science with advanced manufacturing techniques. I investigate laser cladding to create metal matrix composite (MMC) coatings with tailored properties, aiming to develop coatings with enhanced wear resistance, mechanical strength, and high-temperature stability for applications in aerospace, energy, and biomedical engineering. Furthermore, I explore the potential of liquid metal dealloying to create porous titanium-based materials with controlled microarchitectures and enhanced biocompatibility for applications like implants, scaffolds for tissue regeneration, and drug delivery systems. My research utilizes medium- and high-entropy alloys (M-HEAs) in this process, recognizing their potential to offer improved mechanical properties and corrosion resistance compared to conventional titanium alloys. By combining these research areas, I aim to contribute to the development of advanced materials with superior functionalities and performance for specific applications.
