  I am currently investigating the codeposition of particles during electrolytic deposition as a way of producing composite metallic coatings. I am also working on the electrodeposition of Cu, Zn, Sn and their alloys from cyanide-free electrolytes. I have collaborated on many research projects regarding electroplating and corrosion, funded by different companies, which were aimed either at solving line problems or developing new products. To date, I have participated in 11 Research projects and 45 projects of transference of technology to Industry and co-authored 2 patents. During my years in academia I have gained experience in several analysys and characterization techniques including:• Electrochemical methods: Voltammetry (Cyclic and Linear), Zeta potential measurement, EIS.• Galvanostatic and Potentiostatic deposition• Metallographic preparation of samples• Materials characterization: SEM, EDS, XRD, EXAFS, TEM, XPS.• Mechanical properties measurements: microhardness, tribological properties, internal stresses.• Statistical and graphical analysis of data.• Research project funds management and laboratory organization and safety control.
