Are you worried about material corrosion? Let me help you to reduce any negative economic impact by assessing the risks to which a structure is exposed. For example, we use sensor technology to perform real-time detection and monitoring of corrosion at your own site. Moreover, Sirris provides a full-service portfolio at its coating and corrosion laboratories in order to understand and mitigate corrosion in your application.
Expertise

Work experience
I started my career with the characterization of inorganic and organic coatings, mainly focusing on changing the properties of coatings on glass. Later on, I was active in the automotive sector, helping customers to identify and mitigate corrosion in their applications. I was also in charge of projects to develop corrosion-resistant materials by means of protective layers: extruded coatings, galvanic protection and barrier protection on steel. The last years, I’ve been committed to the process aspects of polymeric coatings, defect free, reliable and with high yield and throughput.
