Thin Film Science, Magnetron Sputtering
ID: 735881
California, USA
Senior engineer in the field of thin films and nanostructures I have accumulated a vast
experience in all aspects of film’s production (by PVD), characterization and
application. Being an experimentalist, I used to maintain and manage a multi-user setup for sputter-deposition, in-situ and ex-situ characterization of thin films. The studies, which I have led and participated in, were focused on film formation and growth, diffusion, microstructure, electronic structure, optical and mechanical properties of film substrate systems. During more than 20 years, my projects were realized in collaboration with scientists, industrial partners and R&D engineers. Lately, I am acting as a project manager and leading development of new products.
