Profile Summary

Hi. I am Dr. Muhammad Awais Altaf, PhD researcher specializing in thin film deposition and high-entropy carbide coatings using magnetron sputtering. My work focuses on microstructure–property relationships, oxidation resistance, and high-temperature materials performance. I have extensive experience with XRD, SEM, TEM, and nanoindentation, and I am particularly interested in advanced coating systems and next-generation materials. I am open to research collaborations, scientific consulting, and technical discussions in thin films and advanced materials.
