Professor Javad Mostaghimi, a highly reputed figure in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Toronto and in the global scientific research area, recently visited Baoshilai with his profound academic team boasting rich scientific research experience. They held a unique academic and technical exchange event. As the leader of the Center for Advanced Coating Technologies (CACT), Academician Mostaghimi is not only renowned internationally for his outstanding academic achievements but also has made indelible contributions to scientific and technological progress through his in-depth exploration in fields such as thermal plasma and thermal spray coatings.

During the meeting, Professor Mostaghimi and Baoshilai's team engaged in in-depth discussions on the latest progress, challenges, and future development trends of advanced coating technologies. He emphasized that in the face of the new pattern of global scientific and technological competition, strengthening industry-university-research cooperation and promoting technological innovation are the keys. At the same time, he highly praised Baoshilai's achievements in technological innovation and market application and expressed his anticipation for more substantial cooperation between the two sides in the future to jointly promote the industrialization of advanced coating technologies.

This visit is not only a tribute to Professor Mostaghimi's outstanding academic achievements but also a new starting point for Baoshilai to join hands with top scientific research forces and create brilliance together. With the joint efforts of both sides, the future of advanced coating technologies is bound to be even more splendid.
