Omid Emadinia worked in metallurgical laboratories with a BS in Metallurgical Engineering for 11 years. Then, he achieved his MS in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering in March 2013 at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto (FEUP). He concluded his PhD in Advanced Materials and Processing at the same institute in 2018 and proceeded to a postdoctoral position. He joined the Institute of Science and Innovation in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering (INEGI) in February 2021. Omid has been involved in different industrial projects since 1999. He has also participated in various scientific projects since 2013. He currently works as a project manager and coordinating researcher at INEGI. His expertise is in the characterization and processing of conventional and advanced metallic materials. His research areas include severe plastic deformation processes for producing nanostructured alloys, joining technologies, powder metallurgy, and additive manufacturing.
