Samaneh Nasiri

Samaneh Nasiri is a Researcher at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU). She is affiliated with the Materials Simulation (MATSIM) group, focusing on computational and experimental studies of advanced materials. Her research emphasizes nanocomposites, interfacial mechanics, and atomistic simulations of metallic systems. Key areas include magnesium-silicon carbide interfaces, dislocation dynamics in aluminum-CNT composites, and fracture mechanisms in nanomaterials. She has contributed to developing manufacturing techniques for enhanced magnesium alloys and pioneered multiscale modeling approaches for graphene-Pt nanoparticle structures.

Her work bridges computational materials science with practical engineering applications, leveraging ab initio methods and molecular dynamics simulations. Recent projects address challenges in lightweight materials for aerospace and automotive industries through studies on metal-coated nanotube reinforcements and dislocation interactions in crystal defects. Her research is published in journals like Metals, Materialia, and Acta Materialia.

Dr. Nasiri collaborates with Erlangen's Materials Science community and participates in FAU's interdisciplinary research initiatives. She maintains an active presence on academic platforms including ResearchGate and Google Scholar.
