معرفی
Michael Sangid is the Reilly Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Professor of Materials Engineering at Purdue University. His academic roles include being a University Faculty Scholar (2022–2027) and Executive Director of the Hypersonics Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center. He holds dual appointments as a Professor in the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics and a courtesy Professor in the School of Materials Engineering.
Dr. Sangid earned his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (2002–2010). His research integrates materials science, solid mechanics, and advanced manufacturing to develop physics-based models for structural materials, including high-temperature alloys, composites, and additive manufacturing processes. His ACME Laboratory focuses on microstructure-sensitive modeling, defect analysis, and experimental validation using advanced techniques like synchrotron X-ray diffraction and in-situ imaging.
Key research interests include fatigue crack propagation, microstructural defect characterization, and computational tools for material lifing. He leads projects on rotating detonation rocket engines, ceramic matrix composites, and damage tolerance in aerospace materials. Notable awards include the NSF CAREER Award (2017) and DARPA Director’s Award (2016).
