About Me

---

I am Hamid, a researcher in Materials Engineering and an MSAc student in Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Queen’s University. My research focuses on aluminum alloys, mechanical processing, microstructural engineering, microstructural heterogeneity, and the study of the mechanical behavior of materials.

I began my academic journey at the University of Tehran as an undergraduate student in Materials and Metallurgical Engineering. My first research experience involved in situ aluminum matrix composites, where I investigated the effects of alloying additions and thermomechanical processing on microstructure and mechanical properties. This project introduced me to lightweight alloys and their broad engineering applications. I later continued my work on magnesium alloys, exploring similar relationships among composition, processing, microstructure, and mechanical behavior. These experiences provided me with a strong foundation in laboratory research and motivated me to continue working on lightweight metallic materials.

I am now continuing my studies as an MSc student in Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Queen’s University. My previous work on aluminum and magnesium alloys led me to my current research on AA5182, where I am investigating the development of a hybrid microstructure through controlled deformation and heat treatment. This project has allowed me to work in a rapidly developing area of materials engineering that explores how microstructural design can overcome conventional limitations in mechanical performance.
