Dr. Shahryar Mooraj is a highly accomplished Materials Engineer specializing in advanced manufacturing and material discovery, holding a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Massachusetts Amherst (2023) and a BSc in Physics and Mathematics from the University of California Santa Barbara (2018). Currently serving as a Post-doctoral Researcher at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), focusing on fusion energy materials and digital twin development, Dr. Mooraj's work has yielded 20 indexed publications (h-index: 14; 516 Total Citations) with a strong focus on High-Entropy Alloys (HEAs), including pioneering research on defect-free refractory HEA synthesis and crack mitigation strategies through engineered phase transformation. His expertise spans advanced Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques, specifically Laser Powder Bed Fusion (optimizing microstructure and defect science), Direct Ink Writing (DIW) (designing hierarchical nanoporous architectures for functional materials), and Plasma Arc Wire-based Directed Energy Deposition (analyzing thermal history and residual stresses). His impressive international collaboration network includes the Max-Planck-Institute (Germany), the National University of Singapore, and the South China University of Technology, alongside major U.S. partners like Oak Ridge National Laboratory, University of Tennessee Knoxville, and University of California Berkeley.
