About
M. Vardelle is a leading authority in the field of thermal spray technology, with a particular focus on the intricate processes of atmospheric plasma spraying. Her research bridges fundamental understanding and practical application, exploring how individual molten droplets—or splats—form and coalesce into robust coatings. Vardelle’s major contributions include advancing the modeling and measurement of plasma spray dynamics, from the evolution of spraying techniques since the 1960s to the development of in-situ sensors that optimize coating quality. Her most-cited work, “Latest Researches Advances of Plasma Spraying: From Splat to Coating Formation” (2016), has garnered 53 citations, underscoring its influence on both academic and industrial communities. Additionally, her comprehensive review “Atmospheric Plasma Spraying Evolution Since the Sixties Through Modeling, Measurements and Sensors” (2017) provides a critical synthesis of decades of progress. Through these efforts, Vardelle has illuminated the complex interplay of heat, momentum, and material behavior in plasma spraying, enabling more precise and durable coatings for applications in aerospace, energy, and biomedical engineering. Her work remains a cornerstone for researchers and engineers seeking to master this transformative surface-engineering technology.
