About

Dr. Sanjay Sampath is a leading authority in the field of thermal spray coatings and advanced materials processing, with a particular focus on the mechanics and performance of plasma-sprayed ceramics. His research bridges fundamental materials science with industrial application, exploring how deposition parameters influence the structural integrity and longevity of protective coatings. A key contribution is his work on stress evolution in plasma-sprayed yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), a critical material for thermal barrier coatings in gas turbines and aerospace engines. His 2012 study, "Effect of Deposition Rate on the Stress Evolution of Plasma-Sprayed Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia," has garnered 23 citations, highlighting its relevance to optimizing coating durability. Beyond this, Dr. Sampath has made significant strides in understanding the relationship between spray process conditions and coating microstructure, enabling more reliable performance in extreme environments. His achievements include pioneering diagnostic tools for real-time monitoring of thermal spray processes and contributing to industry standards. With a career marked by interdisciplinary collaboration, Dr. Sampath’s work continues to shape the future of surface engineering, offering practical solutions for energy efficiency and component lifespan.
