The Taheri-Mousavi Group

mtm-group-photo.jpg

The Taheri-Mousavi Group develops novel multi-scale numerical and analytical frameworks in combination with machine learning techniques to discover next-generation structural alloys produced by various manufacturing techniques (particularly additive manufacturing) and under extreme environmental conditions. We validate our simulations in experiments. Our materials informatics frameworks also guide experiments to be performed efficiently and in a smart manner.

Mohadeseh Taheri-Mousavi

Assistant Professor

S. Mohadeseh Taheri-Mousavi joined CMU as an assistant professor in September 2022 from MIT where she was a postdoctoral associate jointly in the Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering. Before that, she was a postdoctoral fellow at Brown University. She received her Ph.D. from EPFL, Switzerland, and her B.Sc. and M.Sc. from Sharif University of Technology, Iran. She received both early and advanced prestigious Swiss National Science Foundation fellowships for her postdoctoral studies at Brown and MIT. Taheri-Mousavi’s research was funded by large funding including grants from Naval Nuclear Laboratory, NASA STRI, DARPA, and Army Research Laboratory projects.
