Seyed Mohammad Mehdi Hoseini Athar

I received my PhD in materials science and engineering from University of Tehran in 2019. Since then, I have been  working at MSE department at KTH as a postdoc and then researcher. Currently, I am affiliated with the unit of "Hultgren laboratory for materials characterization", where my main responsiblity is leading a team of postdoctoral researchers and doctoral students focused on microstructure-mechanical properties correlation of engineering materials through experimental macro-/micro- mechanical testing supported by advanced materials modelling.

Current projects:

-REPAM:EU-funded project aiming to tackle these issues in industrial powder production and recycling; Working as work package leader, project leader, and researcher to develop new alloys with improved mechanical properties and performance;

-Steel4Fatigue: EU-funded project focused on exploring the capabilities of high-strength steels with excellent fatigue resistance for lightweight structural applications within the future mobility; Working as project leader and researcher to develop knowledge on the role of microstructure on residual stress and fatigue properties of thick-plate advanced high-strength steels;

-NEXT (Neutron and X-ray science for industrial technology transitions):Vinnova-funded competence center aiming to co-create materials innovations for enabling sustainable industry transitions – using large scale neutron and synchrotron infrastructures (LSIs) as an enabling technology; Working as project leader focusing on investigation of the effect of interplay between microstructure,residual stress, and overload on fatigue behavior of gears;

-RECaSt:Vinnova-funded project focusing on resource-efficient design of durable cast steel enabled by detailed structure-property investigation; Working as PI
