Dr Arunprahbu Arunchalam Sugurmaran is a researcher with the National HIPIMS Technology centre. He is part of a strong research group at Materials and Engineering Research Institute (MERI).

The Materials and Engineering Research Institute (MERI) held its 25th Anniversary Dinner on Thursday10 September 2015, celebrating a quarter of a century of research and development excellence. Our attendees received a unique memento for the evening's celebration.

Research by Professors Ehiasarian and Hovsepian of our Materials and Engineering Research Institute has advanced innovations in High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HIPIMS)

SEM is a very versatile analytical instrument having up to nm-scale spatial resolution. Analytical SEM is extensively used in various types of materials characterization and failure investigations

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) utilises a beam of electrons to transmit through an ultra thin specimen. The interaction between the transmitting electrons and the specimen leads to the generation of several types of signals regarding structural and chemical characteristics of the specimen material.

Daniel graduated from the Jade University of Applied Sciences in Wilhelmshaven, Germany, as Dipl.-Ing. (FH) in Mechatronics in 2009. After writing his diploma thesis on modulated pulse plasma technology at the Fraunhofer Institute for Surface Technology (IST) in Braunschweig, Germany, he joined Sheffield Hallam University to work on the development of a novel pulsed plasma source. He was awarded the Joint SHU-Fraunhofer IST Research Centre Award in 2016.

Our major aim is to elucidate and quantify the processes that contribute to the deterioration and failure of engineering materials through the interaction of material composition, operating environment and the applied/residual stress system.
