Hossein Shahbazi

A dynamic and adaptable individual with a keen interest in Thermal Spray Coating Manufacturing and Engineering, as well as innovative advanced materials. I thrive on collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to acquire new skills and tackle novel challenges. I have experience in technical advisory roles for thermal spray equipment, ceramic powder synthesis, and the design and fabrication of cold-casting molds and equipment, both in Iran and Canada. One of my proudest experiences in recent years includes being a joint Ph.D. student at Concordia University and the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), within the Surftec Industrial Thermal Spray Group.
