Marion Wienecke

Prof. Dr. rer. nat. habil Marion Wienecke is a faculty member at Wismar University of Applied Sciences, holding appointments in the School of Mechanical Engineering | Process and Environmental Engineering and the School of Design (Product Design / Jewelry Design). Her research focuses on Materials Technology, Surface and Thin-Film Technology, and Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) Coatings for biomedical and industrial applications.

• Specializes in DLC coatings for medical implants
• Develops hydrogen sensors with optical/electrical switching
• Investigates corrosion/wear resistance in maritime/industrial contexts

Recent article trends highlight her work on graphene-based implant coatings, multilayer DLC systems, and Ca-doped oxide conductors. Her publications span 2000–2016 with collaborations across Germany and international institutions.

Advising includes supervision of Bachelor's, Master's, and Diplom theses on topics such as carbon nanotube mats, corrosion protection, and biocompatible thin films. She leads the Institute for Surface and Thin Film Technology (IfOD), bridging applied research with industry partnerships.
