I have 15 years of experience in academia and industry and have published more than 45 peer-reviewed and conference proceedings articles. Since receiving my Ph.D. in Materials Science from Isfahan University of Technology, I have managed more than 12 research projects worth nearly $300,000. I have been working on intermetallic materials such as TiAl, Ni3Al and FeAl compounds for more than 10 years and on improving the mechanical, oxidation and wear properties of tungsten carbide (WC-cermets) for more than 5 years, and I am currently leading a research group working on the characterisation and modification of additively manufactured alloys. I also have experience of working with advanced processes such as Selective Laser Melting (SLM), Direct Laser Deposition, Plasma Sintering and Vacuum Melting.
