About
Dr. Hamidi, an Assistant Professor at the University of Alberta, obtained his PhD from the University of Toronto in 2019. His doctoral research focused on process-structure-property relationships and innovative manufacturing methods for multifunctional polymer nanocomposites and foams.
Prior to joining the University of Alberta, Dr. Hamidi worked as a research associate at the University of Cambridge, specializing in nanomanufacturing and 3D nanoarchitectures for energy storage and microactuators. He also conducted postdoctoral research at UC Berkeley and the University of Toronto, focusing on nanomechanics and the behavior of polymer nano-films and 2D materials using atomic force microscopy (AFM).
Fully Funded Graduate Research Positions:
Applications are invited for multiple fully funded graduate-level positions (Ph.D. and Masters) in Dr. Hamidi's research group in the areas of (i) Multifunctional nanocomposites, (ii) Nano-scale properties of nanomaterials and nanostructures, and (iii) Nanoarchitected materials.
