Dr Erik Poloni
Postdoctoral Research Assistant in High Entropy Ceramics
School of Engineering and Materials Science
Queen Mary University of London
Research
Materials for extreme environments, UIltra-high temperature ceramics, Thermostructural materials, High-entropy ceramics, Composites, Thermal protection systems
Interests
My research interests are in the design, processing, and characterization of materials for extreme environments. In particular, composites of high-entropy ceramics and carbon fibres with improved hardness, thermal stability, thermal/electrical conductivity, and resistance against crack propagation, ablation, oxidation, and corrosion.
