• Postdoctoral Fellow, November 2021, Present, Department of Mechanical Engineering, McMaster University, Professor Mohamed Elbestawi, I have been dedicated to investigating the additive manufacturing of metallic materials. The research I have been doing during my Postdoc had involved the utilization of additive manufacturing to process metallic materials such as copper, titanium, aluminum to fabricate parts.
• Graduate Research Assistant, 2017, 2021, Department of Mechanical Engineering, McMaster University, Professor Mohamed Elbestawi, My research during my PhD studies was focused on additive manufacturing of Ti matrix composites through the incorporation of TiB and TiB+TiC reinforcements into the matrix. In addition to my thesis, I was involved in some other projects conducted in our group at McMaster University dealing with additive manufacturing of aluminum, steel and nickel alloys.
• Graduate Research Assistant, 2012, 2014, Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Sharif University of Technology, Professor Amir Hossein Kokabi & Dr. Mojtaba Movahedi, My research during my MSc studies was on friction stir spot welding of aluminum to steel.
• Research Assistant, 2008, 2012, Department of Metallurgical and Mining Engineering, Yazd University, Dr. Seyed Sadegh Ghasemi Banadkouki, I worked on a project dealing with the heat treatment of AISI4140 steel.
