Mahdi Hamidi is an Assistant Professor at the University of Alberta with a research focus on nanomanufacturing and architected materials. He completed his PhD at the University of Toronto in 2019, where his doctoral research examined process-structure-property relationships in innovative manufacturing methods for multifunctional polymer nanocomposites and foams. Before joining the University of Alberta, he worked as a research associate at the University of Cambridge, where he specialized in nanomanufacturing for 3D nanoarchitectures and energy storage applications. Dr. Hamidi conducted postdoctoral research at both UC Berkeley and the University of Toronto, concentrating on the nanomechanics of polymer nano-films and 2D materials using atomic force microscopy (AFM). His current research at the University of Alberta is centered on the development of nanoarchitected materials, involving the design and fabrication of nanoscale structures to achieve desired functionalities, particularly in energy storage and microactuation applications. His lab, nanoAIM (NanoEngineering for Advanced Integrated Materials), integrates different attributes like strength and conductivity to create advanced systems for a variety of applications including energy storage solutions and nanosensors.
