معرفی
Fadi Abdeljawad is an Associate Professor at Lehigh University's Department of Materials Science and Engineering. Previously, he held the Bob and Kaye Stanzione Associate Professorship at Clemson University's Mechanical and Materials Science & Engineering departments. He earned his Ph.D. from Princeton University, supported by the prestigious Francis Robbins Upton Fellowship, followed by postdoctoral work and technical roles at Sandia National Laboratories. His research focuses on computational modeling of materials microstructure evolution, leveraging machine learning to address challenges in alloy design, grain boundary dynamics, and additive manufacturing. His work is funded by the NSF, DOE, and DOD.
Education includes a Ph.D. and M.A. from Princeton (2014 and 2010), and a B.S./M.S. from North Carolina State University (2005). Prior to academia, he worked as a materials and stress engineer at Sikorsky Aircraft.
Research interests span microstructure physics, interfacial dynamics, alloy thermodynamics, and mesoscale modeling. Notable projects include stabilizing nanocrystalline alloys via grain boundary segregation and developing computational tools for additive manufacturing. His group's innovations bridge theoretical models with practical applications in materials engineering.
Awards include the Francis Robbins Upton Fellowship. He collaborates on grants addressing thermal stability, fatigue resistance, and microstructural control in advanced materials. His lab, affiliated with Lehigh's Whitaker Lab, emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches to materials science challenges.
