About

Monica Enescu’s research lies at the intersection of robotics, materials science, and manufacturing optimization, with a focused expertise in robotic systems for thin-film deposition. Her major contributions center on the modeling, simulation, and control of six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) industrial robots used in spray pyrolysis deposition (SPD)—a technique for creating uniform coatings on surfaces. Enescu pioneered the use of virtual prototyping environments, combining MSC Adams for mechanical modeling with MATLAB/Simulink for dynamic analysis, to optimize robot motion laws and control parameters. Her work directly addresses the critical challenge of achieving film uniformity, developing optimal algorithms that minimize thickness variation during deposition. Her most-cited paper, “Modeling and Simulation of A 6 Dof Robot” (2012, 18 citations), established foundational methods for optimizing robotic trajectories in SPD applications. Through parametric optimization in virtual environments, she has advanced the design of control devices that enhance deposition precision. While her citation counts reflect a specialized, emerging field, Enescu’s contributions are notable for bridging robotics and materials engineering, offering practical solutions for industrial coating processes. Her research is particularly valuable for engineers and researchers seeking to automate and refine thin-layer deposition for applications in optics, electronics, and protective coatings.
