معرفی
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ghazal Moeini is a Professor of Materials Engineering and Joining Technology at the Westfälische Hochschule in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, affiliated with the Institute of Mechanical Engineering and the Westfälisches Energieinstitut within the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Environmental and Building Services Engineering.
Her research interests focus on additive manufacturing of metallic materials, particularly aluminum alloys like AlSi10Mg, and advanced welding techniques including friction stir welding, laser welding, and electron beam welding. She investigates microstructural properties, fatigue behavior, and integrity assessment of additively manufactured components and welded joints. Her work spans multiscale modeling from microstructural analysis to macroscopic mechanical properties, with applications in lightweight construction for automotive and aerospace industries.
Prof. Moeini's recent publications (2018-2025) demonstrate consistent research in additive manufacturing and welding technologies, with a particular emphasis on AlSi10Mg alloy components. Her work shows a clear progression from fundamental microstructural analysis to practical applications in hybrid joining of additively manufactured and conventionally produced parts. The research themes consistently address challenges in process optimization, integrity assessment, and performance prediction of advanced manufacturing techniques.
She teaches courses including:
- Fügetechnik (Joining Technology)
- Thermische Fügetechnik (Thermal Joining Technology)
- Additive Fertigung metallischer Werkstoffe (Additive Manufacturing of Metallic Materials)
- Qualitätssicherung geschweißter Konstruktionen (Quality Assurance of Welded Structures)
Prof. Moeini leads several research projects including Micro-Macro Additive, Nailhead, Laser Brazing, LaHRissa, and High-Speed Welding, focusing on establishing direct relationships between material, process, properties, and performance to produce safe and reliable high-performance lightweight components. She collaborates with scientific colleagues including Vito Burgio, Michael Koch, and Jan Stockbrink-Hunkemöller, and mentors students such as Aravindh Nammalvar Raja Rajan.
