Background

About Christopher Seubert

I’m a Coatings Technical Expert at Ford Motor Company with a strong background in automotive coatings, materials, and process development. Over the years, I’ve led projects ranging from advanced paint and ink applicator technologies to improving LIDAR reflectivity for autonomous vehicles. I’ve also worked extensively with UV/EB-curable materials, plasma surface treatments, and digital color modeling—always with a focus on solving real-world manufacturing problems and improving product performance. Much of my work involves digging into technical challenges using tools like TGA, DSC, FTIR, optical microscopy, and profilometry to troubleshoot materials and processes, especially in areas like battery coatings and manufacturing, paint durability and application, and material performance. Outside of the lab, I write and co-host a podcast for Football Zebras, where we break down NFL officiating and rules interpretation. It’s a completely different world from materials science, but it keeps me sharp, curious, and engaged with a broader audience. I'm always looking to connect with others working at the intersection of innovation, materials, and practical problem-solving.
