Our bioengineering research is focused in three broad areas:

• surface modification of metals for medical applications, with improved cell materials interactions, bactericidal properties, and tribocorrosion resistant implants

• development of bioglass for temporary implants, for biocidal membranes, functional coatings

• development and characterization of dental materials

 

Our surface engineering research is focused in two broad areas:

• metallic materials modified by electrolytic plasma processes for improved corrosion and wear resistance

• mechanical, tribological, and corrosive properties of hard coatings

 

Apart from these activities, we also have research activities in the areas of non-conventional machining (EDM, and PM-EDM), and additive manufacturing.
