Dr Omid Sam-Daliri is a Postdoctoral researcher in the School of Engineering at University of Galway since May 2022.He received PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Tehran in 2019.His PhD research involved theelectrical impedance measurement method as a novel structural health monitoring technique for damage characterisation in adhesive joints. He also worked on this topic as a research assistant at University of Klagenfurt, Austria (2017-2018), in partnership with Silicon Austria Labs GmbH.Prior to his current position, he worked as a research engineer and technical consultant with various companiesin the energy industry. Dr Sam-Daliri was employed as a postdoctoral researcher at University of Galway in MIDRONE project focusing on development of automated composite manufacturing processes, and evaluation of the recycling of industrial thermoplastic composite materials using additive manufacturing technology (May 2022 - August 2023). In 2023, he won the Research Ireland Industry RD amp;I funding and became a member of the engineering group at ÉireComposites Teo where he developedathermoplastic strain sensor for structural health monitoring of composite structures. He is working on several projects regarding marine composite structures in the renewable energy sectors such as the FASTSHIP project, aimed at creating a retractable hydrofoil to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions in maritime shipping , and LEPORTECT project aimed at creatinga novel leading edge protection systemto extend the lifespan of wind turbine blades.Dr. Sam-Daliri published numerous papers in international journals and conferences.He co-supervised several MEprogrammestudents at University of Galway.He is a reviewer for several international journals such as Additive Manufacturing, Composites, Sensors, Polymer testing, Engineering Failure Analysis, Aerospace, Polymers. Hismain research interests are Composite Manufacturing and testing (polymers, ceramics , and metals), Material Characterisation, Recycling of composite materials, Structural Health Monitoring, Nondestructive Tests, Finite Element Analysis, Piezoresistive Sensors, Inkjet-printed Sensors, Welding, andResidual Stress. He has collaborated with universities, research centres, and industries in Ireland and overseas.
