Teaching

  • Fundamentals of Physics (Mechanics, Fluid Flow and Waves, Thermodynamics and Electrodynamics, Structure of Matter)
  • Laser physics
  • Solid-state physics
  • Physical Analysis
  • Physical Coating Technologies
  • Hard coatings

  • Physical coating technologies

  1. Production of thin films using laser pulse deposition, with a current focus on super-hard carbon and boron nitride films
  2. Laser micromachining of solid-state surfaces, current focus on the creation of structures with dimensions ranging from a few micrometres down to the sub-micrometre range in super-hard coatings, in steels and tungsten carbide cemented carbide, plastics, glasses including quartz glass, and ‘wide-band-gap’ materials (e.g. calcium fluoride) using excimer, fluorine and femtosecond laser pulses
