About
V. N. Lednev is a prominent researcher specializing in laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and its innovative applications in advanced manufacturing technologies. His work has made significant contributions to the integration of real-time elemental analysis within additive manufacturing processes, particularly direct energy deposition and laser cladding. Lednev pioneered the development of compact, lightweight LIBS probes designed to operate in situ during part production, enabling simultaneous multielemental analysis and defect detection without interrupting the manufacturing workflow — a breakthrough with substantial implications for quality control in industrial settings. His most cited work, published in 2018 with 61 citations, established the feasibility of multi-elemental in situ analysis during additive manufacturing, while subsequent studies further validated quantitative capabilities and failure detection. Lednev also contributed to instrumentation development, designing a compact diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser system tailored for robotic arm deployment, broadening LIBS accessibility for remote industrial analysis of low-alloy steels. With a cumulative citation count exceeding 160 across his key publications, his research has meaningfully advanced the field of process-integrated spectroscopic analysis, offering practical pathways toward smarter, more reliable additive manufacturing systems.
