Yurii Korobov is a Principal Researcher and Head of the Laboratory of Laser/Plasma Processing at Ural’skij Federal’nyj Universitet imeni pervogo Prezidenta Rossii B. N. El’cina, Ekaterinburg, Russia, where he has been serving since 2019. His research focuses on laser and plasma processing, additive manufacturing, surface coatings, and material restoration techniques. He has contributed to studies on WAAM cladding for dendrite-reinforced composite bronze coatings, multi-pass friction stir lap welding for mold copper plate restoration, cavitation erosion resistance of austenitic steels, and micromechanical properties of nickel-chromium coatings obtained via gas powder laser cladding. In addition to his extensive research, he has participated in peer review activities for journals such as Surface & Coatings Technology. Korobov’s work combines advanced metallurgical techniques with practical applications in materials engineering, emphasizing defect minimization, thermal effects, and material performance. He continues to advance the field of laser/plasma materials processing through experimental studies and collaborative research.
