Paria Karimi

Research Assistant Professor, Multi-Scale Additive Manufacturing (MSAM) Lab 

Dr. Paria Karimi is a research assistant professor in the department of mechanical engineering. Her research focuses on eliminating environmental effect and reducing energy consumption in aerospace applications through additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. Her main passion is to use new AM technologies to create a healthy environment devoid of pollutants and requiring less energy, with the lack of universal guidelines on new design approaches, the classification of manufacturing materials, and processes serving as her primary motivation. As a strategic requirement, her major research method focuses on the establishment of innovative, sustainable manufacturing processes. Since completing her doctorate in 2020 at University West, Sweden, she has been spearheading various creative proposals focused on sustainability aspects relevant to aerospace applications. She has acquired a reputation for expertise in her profession by collaborating with several research teams from around the globe. She has reviewed over fifty articles for different publications, and her work has appeared in over thirty reputable journals. She is proud to report that the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs awarded her the 2017 global swede award as an exceptional student for her social, innovative, and entrepreneurial achievements. 

Graduate Supervision: 

Dr. Karimi serves as a supervisor/advisor for mechanical engineering and materials science students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Her primary method of student supervision is to instruct them in the principles of sustainability and to encourage them to consider strategies for reducing energy usage and the adverse effects of manufacturing processes on the environment.
