Viviane Teleginski Mazur

Professor at the Federal Technological University of Paraná - UTFPR, Guarapuava campus since 2017. Technologist in Mechanical Manufacturing Processes (2010 - Federal Technological University of Paraná - UTFPR, Ponta Grossa campus), Master's in Engineering and Materials Science (2012 - State University of Ponta Grossa - UEPG), PhD in Space Sciences and Technologies (2016 - Technological Institute of Aeronautics - ITA/DCTA/IEAv), and Post-Doctorate in Engineering and Materials Science (2022 - Federal University of Paraná - UFPR). In close collaboration with companies in the Guarapuava region, particularly in the wood sector, we lead the development of colaborative projects. Additionally, we strengthen partnerships by conducting specialized work, including product testing in conjunction with local businesses. This synergy promotes the exchange of knowledge and experiences, making a significant contribution to mutual advancement in the technological and industrial landscape. It also involves human resources development and secures benefits for the University. Areas of expertise encompass manufacturing processes of coatings for corrosion and wear protection, along with surface modification using various techniques: Air Plasma Spray (APS), High-Velocity Oxi-Fuel (HVOF), lasers (Yb:fiber, CO2), Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA), plasma magnetron sputtering, welding (MIG/MAG, TIG). Specialized knowledge includes metallic and ceramic coatings, such as Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBC), layer-by-layer manufactured coatings (additive manufacturing), functionally graded coatings, re-melting, and surface texturing. Currently serves as the vice-coordinator of the Postgraduate Program in Technological Innovations at UTFPR-CM-GP, also holding a permanent professor position. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
