معرفی
Dr. Hessam Ghasemnejad is a Reader in Aerospace Structures at the Centre for Aeronautics, Cranfield University, where he leads research in advanced composite materials and structural integrity under dynamic loading. He previously served as a Senior Lecturer in Composite Materials at Kingston University London (2010–2016).
Research Interests: His work focuses on composite materials, crashworthiness, impact mechanics, lightweighting, and structural failure analysis. He employs experimental, analytical, and numerical methods to study energy absorption in composite aerospace and automotive structures. His research has contributed to innovations in crash box design, z-pinning, foam-filled structures, and infant transport safety.
Publication Trends: His recent publications (2021–2025) emphasize numerical modeling, energy absorption, crashworthiness optimization, and advanced composite design, with a strong focus on finite element analysis and real-world applications in aerospace and safety systems.
Scientific Contributions:
- Developed MSc in Advanced Lightweight and Composite Structures (2016–2020)
