Background

About Ali Yazdan

2025 - to date: Lately, I'm working as Postdoctoral Researcher at Universidad Carlos de Madrid. 2024 - 2025: I contributed in the EU project as Postdoctoral Researcher by studying the thermal properties utilising innovative induction heating technologies that involves fabricated metallic materials and nanomaterials produced through 3D printing and additive manufacturing techniques for imiting plastic pollution by using distinctive pyrolysis concepts to ensure the international shift to circular economy of plastics. 2022 - 2024: Previously, I was employed as CircularMetals Center Researcher at Brunel Center for Advanced Solidificatioin Technologies (BCAST), Brunel University London, London UK. There, I¿ve used innovative methods including powder metallurgy, mini arc melter (MAM-1), and ARC 200 equipment for the development of high-performance multi-principal-elemental alloys (MPEA) which are crucial for transforming the metals industry from linear to circular for accomplishing the net zero carbon emissions by 2050. This project was funded by UKRI and carried out in accordance with the UK government's industrial strategy for sustainable growth. 2021 - 2022: I also worked as Visiting Assitant Professor / IPFP Fellow with Higher Educatioin Commission (HEC) of Pakistan. There, I taught undergraduate students in a variety of subjects, including thermodynamics, mechanics, modern physics, and quantum mechanics, and developed course content. Through assignments, examinations, and other assessments, I thoroughly evaluated the students performance. Furthermore, I also put together and submitted the final results, ensuring that academic integrity and institutional standards are preserved. 2016 - 2021: During my PhD, I developed several types of BN nanomaterials, including 2D boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) synthesized via the liquid exfoliation method and boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) manufactured by using the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) approach. There nanomaterials and their composites have huge significance for achieving thermal management in microelectronic devices, like laptops and mobile phones. A variety of novel matrices were also synthesized including agarose hydrogels, highly stable emulsions, and polyethylene oxide (PEO) that were employed to prepare polymeric composites which exhibited exceptional thermal conductivities and demonstrated to be an effective solution for the thermal management of micro-electronic devices.
