Jafar Razmi

Prof. Jafar Razmi serves as a Professor at Arizona State University, where his research centers on engineering structures and infrastructural design under dynamic loads including transportation and environmental forces. His expertise spans material behavior analysis, fatigue and damage mechanisms, and advanced additive manufacturing applications.

Academic credentials include a BS in Mechanical Engineering and MS/PhD in Civil Engineering from the University of Maryland at College Park, complemented by over 12 years of industry experience in mechanical design, industrial construction, power stations, and Quality Assurance/Environmental Management Systems auditing.

Primary research interests encompass:

• Structural integrity under complex loading conditions
• Fatigue and damage progression in engineering materials
• Additive manufacturing process optimization for metals
• Thermal characterization of metallic powders
• Mechanical behavior of additively manufactured alloys
• Microstructure-property relationships in advanced materials

Recent publications (2021-2025) reveal a concentrated focus on metal additive manufacturing, particularly powder bed fusion techniques for copper and titanium alloys. His work demonstrates significant contributions to achieving high conductivity/strength in copper structures, understanding anisotropic behavior in Ti6Al4V parts, and developing image processing methods for process optimization.

Collaborative efforts span Arizona State University's Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department and extend to Stanford University, reflecting interdisciplinary engagement across materials science and computational engineering domains. His industry-academia bridge provides practical relevance to theoretical research, particularly in power systems and manufacturing applications.
