Since January 2020, I have had the splendid opportunity to be part of the executive team for the IET Tribology Technical Network. This role has allowed me to engage deeply with the field of tribology, which is the study of friction, wear, and lubrication, and to contribute to the advancement of this critical area of engineering. In February 2021, I
As an engineer with over 20 years of experience in materials science, tribology, and surface engineering, I have always been passionate about leveraging my expertise for the greater good. Back in 2019, I decided to channel my knowledge towards promoting a circular economy and sustainability. This blog post reflects on my journey and the tailored solutions I offer to support
Smartphone Coatings on manufacturing processes involve surface engineered solutions at various levels. One fascinating example is the application of High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HiPIMS) technology in the production of the new iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro. HiPIMS is based on the use of specialized power supplies to generate a high-density plasma for Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) processes. This
Circular Economy is a much needed approach. It’s not easy to get there but we need to move forward. As engineer with 20 year of experience l decided to set a strong commitment to do my best to contribute and promote the sustainability on my engineering passionate journey. Below, an interesting article from the World Economic Forum explaining why middle
Clear insights to pave sustainability by applying circular economy approaches. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/marlon-cruz_3-shifts-can-scale-the-circular-economy-activity-6766062828471283712-SraI
Really interesting to see how have been the adaptation of wallabies in the Isle of Man. By the way, if you are looking for unbiased, tailored, confidential and approachable advising on surface engineered solutions, tribology and materials engineering backed by 20 years of experience please feel free to drop me an email (marlon@cruz.pro)
What type of Scientist are you…? Along my almost 20 years of professional voyage I have moved around different roles matching with some of 10 types of scientist identified by UK Science Council.
Mindfulness walking around a peaceful place always is a great opportunity to clear thoughts and think about enthralling topics. In my case some of my enthralling topics are tribology and surface engineering and how such branches of knowledge are impacting manufacturing processes for wellbeing in our society. Necessarily on top How are interacting surfaces under loading and moving between them?
