Biography

Hesam is a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Chemistry, Physics and Mechanical Engineering (CPME) in the Science and Engineering Faculty (SEF) at Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Brisbane, Australia.  His main interests are micro/nanofabrication of biomedical device and biomanufacturing. He is working on biomimicking of titanium antibacterial nano-structures used in biomedical devices. He has the variety of expertise in bio fabrication techniques (e.g. electron beam lithography and coating methods), helium ion microscopy (HIM), electron microscopy, electron beam lithography (EBL), confocal microscopy, cell culture, bacteria culture, water contact analysis and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) during his Ph.D.

He subsequently worked in manufacturing, advanced manufacturing, machine design and computer-aided design tools such as AutoCAD, Inventor, CATIA, and SolidWorks and in mechanical simulation and testing. Hesam is an Engineers Australia-accredited professional mechanical engineer, with more than 8 years’ industrial experience (2008-2016) in drafting, machine design, preventive maintenance, and reliability centered maintenance (RCM) in the diverse range of industries including chemical, recycling, steel, and cement.

He obtained his MSc from Iran University of Industries and Mines (IUIM), Tehran, Iran in 2010. He pioneered the use of the abrasive flow machine (AFM) to improve the surface integrity and remove the recast layer which is generated by wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM). Hesam also obtained his B.S. from the Islamic Azad University of Najafabad (IAUN) in 2006. He worked on machining optimization of Al-Si alloy and composites used in the automotive industry.

Hesam has engaged with wide range of scientific organizations as member or visitor, including QUT’s Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation (IHBI), ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF), Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN), Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering (ATSE), MedTech and Pharma Growth centre (MTP connect) and Australia’s biotechnology organization, AusBiotech.
