My research interest lies in the development of advanced composite coatings for orthopedic implants with a strong focus on bone tissue regeneration and long-term implant performance. I am particularly interested in surface modification of metallic biomaterials such as 316L stainless steel, magnesium alloys, and titanium using electrophoretic deposition (EPD) techniques. My work emphasizes the design and optimization of multifunctional coatings incorporating polymers, ceramics, and bioactive phases to enhance corrosion resistance, mechanical integrity, bioactivity, and antibacterial behavior. I am motivated to explore bioactive glass, ceramic–polymer composites, and doped nanomaterials to promote osteointegration, controlled drug release, and cellular responses. Through interdisciplinary research combining materials processing, surface characterization, and biological evaluation, I aim to contribute to the development of next-generation orthopedic implants that improve bone healing, reduce implant failure, and enhance patient outcomes.
