His award-winning dissertation entitled “Understanding the Effect of Processing Conditions on the Properties of Cold Sintered Ceramics” focuses on the further development of the cold sintering process, a novel and energy-efficient manufacturing technique for ceramic materials. This process is based on the principle of reducing the traditionally high sintering temperatures of over 1000 °C to below 350 °C, thereby significantly decreasing energy consumption and emissions during production. His research provided fundamental insights into improving the structural integrity of cold sintered materials and demonstrated the industrial scalability of the process.
