Hamed Sadaghian

Hamed Sadaghian is a Doctoral Researcher at Loughborough University's School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering. His research focuses on 3D-printed concrete materials, polymeric materials, and fiber-reinforced cementitious composites such as UHPC and ECC. He investigates material behavior under extreme conditions like elevated temperatures and explores advanced techniques like micro/nano-computed tomography for material characterization.

His current research includes structural design of 3D-printed concrete materials and the mechanical properties of functionally graded materials. He collaborates with the Structures and Materials research group, contributing to both experimental and numerical studies.

Key research areas include torsional performance of polymers, shear connectors efficiency, and thermal effects on concrete structures. His work bridges additive manufacturing innovations with traditional civil engineering challenges, emphasizing sustainability and material optimization.
