About
Shirin Dehgahi is a rising researcher in advanced manufacturing, specializing in wire-arc directed energy deposition (DED) and the processing of high-performance aluminum alloys. Her work focuses on integrating real-time sensor fusion and closed-loop control to overcome critical challenges in additive manufacturing, particularly for aerospace-grade materials. In her most-cited paper, Dehgahi demonstrates a novel approach to inter-layer temperature control during the DED of nano-treated 7075 aluminum alloy, a material notoriously difficult to weld due to hot cracking. By combining thermal imaging and process monitoring, she achieves improved microstructural uniformity and mechanical properties, directly addressing industry needs for defect-free, large-scale components. This work has already garnered 15 citations, signaling its rapid impact on the field. Dehgahi’s contributions are notable for bridging the gap between process monitoring and material science, offering a pathway to reliable, high-strength aluminum parts for applications in aerospace and automotive sectors. Her research is a compelling example of how intelligent process control can unlock the potential of advanced alloys in additive manufacturing.
