Siegfried Schmauder Editor

Javad Kadkhodapour is currently Guest Professor at the University of Stuttgart, Germany, focusing on quality control of additively manufactured materials. He has previously worked as a research associate and project manager for research projects in several prestigious European and Iranian universities, gaining expert knowledge in the areas of multi-scale analysis for multiphase metallic and multi-material polymeric structures in different manufacturing processes, including additive manufacturing. His industry experience includes working on additive manufacturing of metals and polymers at Shining 3D Company in Hangzhou, China, as well as research and development roles with multiple companies in the automotive and biomedical sectors in Germany. Siegfried Schmauder is Professor of Mechanical Engineering at University of Stuttgart, Germany. His research focuses on microstructure mechanics, multiscale modeling, additive manufacturing, material and component testing, material development and optimization, as well as component reliability and design. He applies experimental and numerical investigation techniques to steels, light alloys, fiber composite materials on a metal and polymer basis, metal/ceramic composite materials, hard metals and coatings. The investigative focus is on microstructure modeling and nanosimulation with a view to examining the correlation between material structure and material properties as well as shedding light on the phenomena that occur at grid level that are important in terms of elastic and place material and damage response. Felix Sajadi is currently a PhD student at the University of Stuttgart, in Germany.
