Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhilip Kearns is a Senior R&D Engineer and materials scientist with 11 years’ experience developing advanced metallurgy and coating systems, currently leading materials development for HAMR at Seagate Technology. He combines deep expertise in SEM/TEM/FIB/EDS/EBSD (plus SIMS, AFM, XRD and ellipsometry) with a track record of establishing high-throughput SOPs that bridge design and process engineering. His PhD work uncovered novel links between oxide content, elemental segregation and porosity in thermal-spray and ceramic coatings, and he introduced PED for lattice-strain analysis of zirconia—demonstrating both curiosity and practical impact. Comfortable moving between hands-on microscopy, failure analysis and cross-functional project leadership, he also has prior mechanical and manufacturing engineering experience that informs pragmatic, production-ready solutions. Based in the UK, he brings a rare blend of academic rigor and industrial delivery in high-reliability materials for data-storage and aerospace applications.
