About

P. Samimi is a leading researcher in the field of additive manufacturing, with a particular focus on the design and fabrication of functionally graded materials (FGMs). Their work addresses a critical challenge in materials science: the formation of brittle intermetallic phases that compromise the integrity of compositional gradients in alloys. Samimi’s most-cited paper, “Functionally Graded Materials through robotics-inspired path planning” (2019, 64 citations), introduces an innovative approach that leverages CALPHAD-based thermodynamic modeling to map out isothermal phase diagrams, enabling the prediction and avoidance of detrimental phases during deposition. This robotics-inspired path planning methodology represents a significant advance in the rational design of defect-free FGMs. By bridging computational thermodynamics with additive manufacturing process control, Samimi has provided a powerful framework for creating materials with spatially tailored properties—such as graded hardness, thermal resistance, or corrosion performance—that are essential for aerospace, biomedical, and energy applications. Their work has garnered attention for its practical impact on the reliability and scalability of graded alloy components.
