About

Dr. A. Ya. Stavertiy is a pioneering researcher in the field of additive manufacturing, with a primary focus on advancing in situ process monitoring through laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). Their key research areas include real-time elemental analysis, process control, and failure detection during direct energy deposition and laser cladding processes. Dr. Stavertiy’s major contribution lies in demonstrating, for the first time, the feasibility of in situ quantitative multielemental analysis during additive manufacturing. They developed a compact LIBS probe integrated directly into the laser cladding head, enabling real-time detection of elemental composition and production anomalies. This breakthrough work, published in 2018 and 2019, has garnered significant attention, with their most-cited paper accumulating 61 citations and a subsequent study reaching 43 citations. These highly influential publications have established a new paradigm for quality assurance in metal additive manufacturing, allowing for immediate correction of defects and compositional deviations. Dr. Stavertiy’s innovative approach bridges the gap between process monitoring and material science, offering a powerful tool for producing high-integrity, compositionally precise components. Their work continues to inspire advancements in smart manufacturing and in situ analytics.
