Dr. Arezoo Assarian started her journey in the world of coatings from her early young years: at the age of 20, she was successful to become the production manager of a well-known coating & paint manufacturing company in Asia. She has over 30 years of hard, fieldwork experience in industries such as but not limited to new energy industries (wind turbines), conventional power generation (thermal power plants), off-shore and on-shore oil& gas platforms, drydock and shipyard/shipbuilding, infrastructures (bridges) and many more in Europe and The Middle East. In addition, she has a vast knowledge about the environmental effects of nanoparticles and smart coatings on the environment, gained from being present and having worked in several industries for years. This knowledge has enabled her to manage the possible harmful side effects of the smart coatings she has manufactured to very low levels, even lower than the acceptable levels by European standards.
She pioneered in highly improving the technology used for manufacturing coatings in such a way that the adverse environmental impacts imposed by conventional coatings on the health of the environment and humans via using multi-layer coatings, in the coatings invented by Dr. Arezoo almost disappear as instead of multi-layer protection, she gets the same or even better protection using a mono-layer coating. This not only saves a lot in application costs but also through reducing the chemicals required for manufacturing- does have a healing effect on the environment as well as humans’ biosafety. Dr. Arezoo is a certified inspector of coating (CIP II, NACE-USA) and welding (CSWIP3.0, TWI-UK).
Currently, she is being the CEO of Eninco Engineering B.V. and Eninco Engineering d.o.o., Dr. Arezoo has been working on the development of antimicrobial coating. In this project, she has used for the first time in situ encapsulation technology to make an antimicrobial coating that has passed significant verification tests successfully.
