Rapid Discovery of the Processing-Property-Microstructure Relationships for Next Generation Materials

Abstract: 
Complex applications in modern technology urgently demand advanced structural materials that are high-strength and lightweight, yet resilient to damage from extreme temperatures, particle radiation, or environmental exposure. To promptly meet these emerging material requirements, we must develop a multi-scale understanding of the relationship between processing, microstructure, and properties of metallic materials. Toward these objectives, I present two examples of my recent findings: (i) leveraging electron beam powder bed fusion to print refractory alloys and (ii) utilizing additive first stir deposition to print large-scale components. I will conclude my talk with a discussion of new opportunities in the field.


Mohsen Taheri Andani is an assistant professor at Texas A&M University, Department of Mechanical Engineering. He earned his Ph.D. degree from the University of Michigan in 2022. His research focuses on establishing the inter-relationship between processing, microstructure, and properties in structural metallic materials, mainly manufactured by metal additive manufacturing techniques. His research integrates cutting-edge multi-scale experimental and computational modeling tools to accelerate the design of advanced structural materials for demanding engineering applications. His works are recenlty funded by different agencies such as DARPA, AFOSR, Air Force, and Army.He has published over 40 journal articles and has received several awards and honors for his outstanding doctoral research, including the “Richard and Eleanor Towner Prize for Outstanding Ph.D. Research” (by the College of Engineering, University of Michigan), “Ephrahim Garcia Best Paper Award” (by ASME), and “Ivor K. McIvor Award for demonstrating excellence in research and scholarship in applied mechanics” (by the College of Engineering, University of Michigan). 

Light lunch will be served.
