Masoud Kasraie
MEEM 1008
mkasraie@mtu.edu
Masoud joined Abadi lab in spring 2019 as a Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) Ph.D. student. He received his B.S. degree in MSE from Isfahan University of Technology in 2013 and his M.S. degree in MSE form Shiraz University in 2016. His previous research focused on using PVP to improve the cooling rate for quenching steels and fabrication of Al–Sn bearing material using friction stir processing technique. He has published a paper in the Materials Research Express journal. As a PhD student, he is currently working on synthesis and application of nanomaterials.
