Alireza Bagherpour

Alireza Bagherpour is a PostDoctoral researcher at Université catholique de Louvain. His research focuses on mechanical properties of advanced coatings and thin-film metallic glasses. Driven by collaborations with Prof. Thomas Pardoen and Prof. Stéphane Lucas, he investigates hybrid nanolaminates and carbon-based coatings.

• FNRS Funding for international conference participation (2022)
• NISM Funding for international conference participation (2022)

His 15 recent publications (2017-2025) span materials science, nanotechnology, and mechanical engineering. Key themes include nanolaminate coatings for strength-ductility synergy, tribological performance optimization, and protein interactions with magnetic nanoparticles. Activity trends show active engagement in conferences like HIPIMS (2021) and Surfaces & Interfaces (2022).

Bagherpour's 2024 PhD thesis addressed mechanical properties of amorphous carbon and metallic glass coatings. Current work continues with projects like "Hybrid nanolaminate coatings for high toughness" (2024-2027) and explores vein pattern fracture mechanisms in Cu-Zr films.
