Research interests: nanostructured metallic biomaterials; phase transformations and surface modifications
Professor Shahrzad Esmaeili obtained her PhD degree in Materials Engineering from the University of British Columbia in 2002. She then worked for two years at Alcan International as a Researcher and a holder of a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) industrial fellowship. She joined the University of Waterloo in 2004 and is now a Professor at the Mechanical and Mechtronics Engineering departments. She is a recipient of an Early Researcher Award from Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation.
She has established expertise in microstructural transformations involving nano-precipitates in aluminum and magnesium alloys. Her research activities encompass experimental and modeling investigations in fundamentals of transformations and atomic-to-macro scale processing-structure-property relationships.
Professor Esmaeili conducts research in processing, characterization and modeling microstructural transformations involving nano-precipitates in aluminum and magnesium alloys. Her current research in this area involves the interactions between precipitation and recrystallization in monolithic and laminated aluminum alloys and atomic-scale solute clustering in aluminum and magnesium alloys. Her research activities also include design, processing, characterization and processing-structure-property relationships of emerging multi-functional, hybrid and porous materials, as well as advanced multi-length scale surface modification.
Recent publications include:

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
