About

Sayed Reza Hashemi is a leading researcher in sustainable manufacturing and circular economy systems, with a primary focus on the robotic disassembly of electric vehicle (EV) battery modules for recycling. His most cited work, "Robotic Disassembly of Electric Vehicles’ Battery Modules for Recycling" (2022, 91 citations), addresses the critical challenge of safely and efficiently dismantling lithium-ion battery modules—a process that is hazardous for human workers due to high voltage and thermal runaway risks. Hashemi’s contributions pioneer automated and semi-automated robotic solutions that reduce time, cost, and danger in battery recycling, directly supporting the transition to a circular economy for EV components. His research integrates robotics, artificial intelligence, and end-of-life product management, offering scalable methods to recover valuable materials from spent batteries. With over 90 citations on this landmark paper alone, Hashemi’s work has influenced both academic discourse and industrial practices in sustainable manufacturing. He is recognized for bridging the gap between automation technology and environmental sustainability, making him a key figure in advancing safe, efficient recycling systems for the growing EV market.
