Dr. Juhl has worked in the anodizing industry for more than 25 years. Her anodizing journey started when she wrote my Ph.D. thesis as a research scientist at the Technical University of Denmark about "Pulse Anodizing of Extruded and Cast Aluminum Alloys".

After finishing her Ph.D., Dr. Juhl worked with anodizing both as an independent consultant and as a supervisor and quality manager in anodizing companies. She has great experience with different kinds of chemical and electrochemical surface treatments, such as chromating, electroplating, electroless plating and anodizing, including Type I, II, and III.

“What I am most passionate about is the sustainable aspect of aluminum anodizing,” Dr. Juhl says. “I strongly believe anodizing is the most efficient and sustainable solution for anodizing aluminum. This conviction has also led to my decision to create www.AnodizingSchool.com where I seek to enhance knowledge about anodizing in the world.”
