Aleksandr Zinoviev

Aleksandr Zinoviev is a Senior Research Associate at the School of Engineering and Information Technology (SEIT) at UNSW Canberra, where he has been working since 2022. His research spans multiple institutions across the globe, including previous positions at Siemens Digital Industries Software in Belgium, University of Bremen and AMSIS GmbH in Germany, and Institute of Strength Physics and Materials Science of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Tomsk Polytechnic University in Russia. He has also conducted research stays at the University of Bremen (Germany) and São Paulo State University (Brazil).

Dr. Zinoviev's research interests are highly interdisciplinary, focusing on metal additive manufacturing, thermodynamics of materials, computational materials science, solid mechanics, software engineering, and machine learning. He specializes in developing and applying novel knowledge-based approaches to address engineering challenges, particularly in improving materials and parts produced by advanced manufacturing, optimizing production processes, and enhancing data processing. His work bridges the gap between fundamental materials science and practical engineering applications, with a strong emphasis on computational modeling and simulation.

Analysis of his recent publications (2021-2025) reveals a consistent focus on additive manufacturing process modeling, microstructure-property relationships in additively manufactured metals, and computational approaches to materials science. His research particularly emphasizes cellular automata modeling, multiscale simulation techniques, and the application of machine learning to materials processing. The publications demonstrate expertise in both experimental characterization and advanced computational methods for predicting mechanical behavior of additively manufactured components.

Dr. Zinoviev actively mentors prospective PhD and Research Master's candidates, offering guidance on topics related to thermal modeling of additive manufacturing and process optimization. He has indicated that scholarships of up to $35,000 (AUD) are available for qualified candidates who achieved High Distinction in their undergraduate program and/or have completed a Masters by Research.
