Amir Mostafaei

Amir Mostafaei is Assistant Professor at Illinois Tech's Armour College of Engineering, researching metal additive manufacturing processes. His work focuses on laser powder bed fusion and binder jetting of structural alloys, shape memory materials, and biomaterials. Key areas include process optimization, microstructure control, and advanced characterization using micro-CT and synchrotron techniques.

He directs the AMIR Lab investigating process-structure-property relationships in additively manufactured components. Recent projects examine sintering kinetics of binder jetted parts and fatigue behavior of non-spherical Ti-6Al-4V powder processed via laser powder bed fusion.

• NSF CAREER Award (2024)
• Multiple student research awards (URCA, RES-MATCH)

The lab develops data analytics approaches for quality prediction and maintains collaborations with national labs including Argonne.
