About

Fariba Tarasi is a materials scientist whose research focuses on the development and characterization of advanced thermal barrier coatings, particularly through suspension plasma spray (SPS) techniques. Her most-cited work, "Enhancement of amorphous phase formation in alumina–YSZ coatings deposited by suspension plasma spray process" (2012, 27 citations), explores how SPS parameters can be tuned to control amorphous phase formation in alumina–yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) composite coatings—a critical factor for improving coating durability and thermal protection in high-temperature applications. This contribution has advanced understanding of phase evolution in nanostructured ceramic coatings, offering pathways to engineer more resilient materials for aerospace and energy sectors. Tarasi’s research bridges fundamental materials science with practical processing challenges, and her work is frequently referenced by peers investigating SPS-deposited thermal barriers. Her findings have implications for extending the lifespan of components in gas turbines and other extreme environments, marking her as a notable contributor to the field of ceramic coating technologies.
