MAE Colloquium: Atieh Moridi (Cornell MAE)

Bio:
Atieh Moridi joined the faculty of the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Cornell University in January 2019. Prior to that, she was postdoctoral fellow at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She was awarded Ph.D. Cum Laude (the highest institute honors) in mechanical engineering at Politecnico di Milano, Italy. She received her B.Sc. and M.Sc. from Sharif University of Technology, Iran.

Prof. Moridi’s research interests lie in the areas of advanced materials and manufacturing. She exploits the intrinsic properties (i.e., rapid solidification, melt pool dynamic, intrinsic heat treatment) as well as flexibility of additive manufacturing (i.e., local or site specific metallurgy and incorporation of nanomaterials) to synthesize novel high performance materials. She studies processing, microstructure, and mechanical response of advanced materials using in-situ x-ray and electron microscopy techniques.
