Congratulations to Niloofar Eftekhari and Mazin Oheil Khalati for successfully defending their PhD theses in the Spring 2025 term! Both have applied for graduation and will be moving onto their future careers. We wish them the best of luck!
A warm welcome to new FATSLab members Aria Tahami (MASc) and Khashayar Mohammadi (PhD).
$2 million from the Ontario Research Fund (ORF) was recently awarded for a joint research project between Dr. Hamid Jahed from FATSLab, Dr. Bertrand Jodoin from the University of Ottawa, and Drs. Adrian Gerlich and Elliot Biro from the University of Waterloo.
From Dr. Hamid Jahed: I am excited to announce that our Canadian Alliance in Cold Spray Technology (CACST) has been awarded a prestigious grant totaling close to $20 million!
In a groundbreaking paper recently published in "Acta Materialia", researcher Erfan Azqadan presents a novel approach to material science through the application of machine learning. The paper, titled "A Niche Application of Machine Learning in Material Science: Generating Feature-Rich SEM Images", introduces an innovative method that could significantly enhance the capabilities of material scientists and engineers.
A hearty congratulations to Jonathan Tang, Alan Woo, Jessica Zhang, Ibim Tolofari, and Gurmeet Gill for successfully completing their Master of Applied Science (MASc) degrees. Their perseverance and dedication through the challenges posed by COVID-19 restrictions are truly commendable. This accomplishment marks a significant milestone in their academic journeys and sets the stage for future professional achievements.
A significant grant of $1.5 million has been awarded to Drs. Hamid Jahed, Sarah Burch, Rebecca Saari, Sibel Alumur Alev, and Vasiliki (Verena) Kantare for a joint research project on sustainable remanufacturing practices and technologies.
A recent publication by a team of researchers, including Dulal Saha, Scott Boegel, Shazia Tanvir, Christiane Lourenço Nogueira, Marc Aucoin, William A. Anderson, and Hamid Jahed, marks a significant advancement in antimicrobial technologies. Titled "Reviving an Ancient Practice: Harnessing the Antimicrobial Power of Copper through Cold Spray Technology," this paper, published in the Journal of Thermal Spray Technology, explores innovative ways to utilize copper's natural antimicrobial properties.
Prof Jahed and Dr. Roostaei have made a significant contribution to the field of material science with the publication of their new book, “Cyclic Plasticity of Metals: Modelling Fundamentals and Application.” Published by Elsevier, this comprehensive work delves deep into the modeling and application of metal plasticity, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application.
Professor Jahed and Dr. Gryguc were guest editors of Metals special issue on "Fatigue and Fracture of Mg Alloys" with contributions from world-renowned researchers.
