About

Meysam Akbari is a materials and manufacturing engineer whose research sits at the intersection of additive manufacturing, robotics, and advanced laser processing. His work has made significant contributions to the development and refinement of robotized laser-based directed energy deposition (DED) systems, exploring both wire-fed and powder-fed approaches for fabricating complex metallic components. Akbari's most cited study, an investigation into the mechanical and microstructural properties of 316LSi parts produced via laser/wire DED (133 citations), established critical benchmarks for part quality in this emerging field. His subsequent research on closed-loop melt pool width control (96 citations) demonstrated how real-time feedback systems can dramatically improve process consistency and dimensional accuracy. Beyond process optimization, Akbari has expanded the application space of robotized additive manufacturing to include metallic metamaterials — engineered structures with extraordinary acoustic, vibrational, and energy-harvesting properties — showcasing the versatility of these platforms. His broader body of work, spanning process development, joining strategies, and microstructural characterization, has collectively garnered nearly 300 citations, establishing him as a notable voice in the advancement of laser-based metal additive manufacturing technologies.
