Dr. Moini's research focuses on bio-inspired design and the development of architected materials using novel additive manufacturing processes and automated robotic technologies for applications in civil infrastructure. His work is motivated by the intellectual challenge of understanding the mechanics of intrinsically brittle engineering materials and developing ductile, flaw-tolerant responses using biomimetic design principles. The materials he studies provide advanced functionality and damage-tolerant behaviors, opening up interesting questions about the interplay of desired material properties such as toughness and strength. His research interests include integrated multi-component autonomous manufacturing, early-age deformations of colloidal materials during additive processes, the packing and solidification of particulate systems, and the application of interior tomography techniques to understand processing-structure-function relationships in architected additively manufactured brittle ceramic and cement-based materials.
