Thin film coatings

Thin film coatings are used in a variety of industries like Semi-conductors, Optics, Lighting, Automobile, Space Research and many more. The company I work in specializes in Lighting and Optics but also works for other industries as well.

From Music to Thin film coatings

I have a degree in Engineering but by fate or design I started my career as a sound engineer and music producer, owning a small recording studio in Chennai, India. When I moved to Italy in 2004, I started working in a Thin film coating company and started my journey into the exciting world of thin film coating. Over the last decade or so I developed an interest in Python and Data Science, and have since completed many courses to help me with my work, analyzing data for research.

I work with DC Magnetron Sputtering and E-Beam Evapouration technologies primarily. I use Essential Macleod to help me with coating designs and to reverse engineer. Yes, I also use Python, R and Data Science to analyze machine and production statistics to improve production efficiency and for process development.

BTW If you are looking to get into Python and Data Science(or even further your knowledge), I would highly recommend courses by Kevin Markham of Dataschool
