Porous materials
Reza has designed novel porous structures and manufactured them using multiple additive manufacturing (AM) techniques such as selective laser melting, fused deposition modeling, and stereolithography. He developed theoretical solutions for the mechanical response of AM porous structures with different structural topologies. The main goal in his research is to obtain the best micro-structural designs for having porous materials which can provide the required static mechanical properties, high fatigue durability, and sufficient permeability required for tissue regeneration and vascularization. Reza has also gained experience in the field of co-continuous hybrid porous materials, fracture toughness and damage resistance analysis of AM porous materials, and multi-scale modeling of fatigue damage propagation in porous materials.
