Teaching experience:

Prof. Parfenov is reading lectures since 2001 in the area of Electrical Engineering. The topics include Theoretical Basis of Electrical Engineering, Electric Measurements, Electrical Engineering and Electronics, Theory of Non-Linear Circuits, Theory of Electromagnetic Field and its Engineering Applications. Since 2014 he offers a course in Electrolytic Plasma Technologies. For all the courses, laboratory and practical assignments are developed, including originally developed software for system modeling.

Current research interest:

The present research covers the topics of electrolytic plasma processes of modification of the surface layers of metals and alloys, including the application of protective corrosion-resistant coatings. Various classes of models of electrolytic plasma processes have been developed — phenomenological, based on the analysis of phenomena occurring during processing, electric field based on the solution of the boundary value problem of the distribution of current density in the electrolyte, neural network, based on a generalization of experimental data. A methodology has been developed for diagnostics of the characteristics of the surface layer being modified during electrolytic plasma processes; this allows to evaluate unobserved process parameters, such as coating thickness, surface roughness, and others. The diagnostics is based on the analysis of electrical, optical and acoustic signals available for measurement and processing by spectral analysis and mathematical modeling; this allows to increase the processing accuracy, reduce the percentage of rejects and improve the energy efficiency of the technology.

The results of the work were introduced into production in the aircraft industry, and a joint research laboratory for plasma-electrolytic oxidation of parts of helicopter equipment was organized together with Kumertau Aviation Production Enterprise JSC. Following the research results, 1 DSc and 4 PhD dissertations were defended. For over 15 years, the research has been carried out in collaboration with the research group of Prof. Aleksey Yerokhin at the University of Sheffield and the University of Manchester (UK), and a joint laboratory has been organized. For 3 years, there has been collaboration with the research team of Prof. N. Ramesh Babu at the National Institute of Technology Tiruchirappalli (India). For 4 years, a collaboration has been conducted with the scientific group of Prof. Ruslan Valiev in the field of creating new coatings for nanostructured materials.

Current advances include the development of biocompatible plasma electrolytic oxidation coatings for Ti and Mg implants, including nanostructured.
