Ashish Ganvir

I am Prof. Ashish Ganvir, an Assistant Professor at the University of Turku, Finland, co-leading the Digital Manufacturing and Surface Engineering (DMS) research group. With extensive experience in both industry and academia, I specialize in high-productivity thermal spray coatings, high-entropy materials, and metal additive manufacturing, driving innovation across energy, aerospace, space, and industrial applications.

🔹 Thermal Sprayed Coatings – High-Efficiency Protection for Extreme Environments

I have deep expertise in scalable and efficient thermal spray technologies, capable of depositing coatings over large areas in minutes. These coatings offer corrosion resistance, wear protection, thermal and electrical insulation, and advanced functionalities such as anti-icing and photocatalysis. My work supports applications in hydrogen, ammonia, batteries, and high-temperature industrial components.

🔹 High-Entropy Alloys & High-Entropy Oxides – Next-Generation Materials

My research focuses on high-entropy metallic alloys and oxides, designing novel materials for energy storage, structural components, and extreme environments. These materials have growing significance in aerospace, batteries, and industrial coatings, as well as interplanetary exploration.

🔹 Metal Additive Manufacturing – Complex & Multi-Functional Solutions

As a leading expert in multi-material additive manufacturing, I develop advanced metal AM processes that enable the production of high-performance, functional materials with complex geometries and hybrid material integration, tailored for industrial and space applications.

🔹 Coating & 3D Printing Solutions for Space & Interplanetary Applications

We offer cutting-edge thermal spray and metal additive manufacturing solutions for space exploration and interplanetary missions, including thermal shielding, wear-resistant coatings, and 3D-printed functional components optimized for extreme space environments.

🔹 Strong Industry-Academia Collaborations

Having worked extensively across both industry and academia, I bring a strong translational research approach, bridging fundamental material science with scalable industrial applications. My research is driven by collaborations with global industries, research organizations, and technology leaders to accelerate high-impact innovations in advanced manufacturing.

At B2MATCH, I am keen to connect with industry leaders, researchers, and technology partners to explore collaborative R&D, funding opportunities, and industrial applications for next-generation coatings, additive manufacturing, and high-entropy materials.
