Mohamed Nasr Saleh Composites and Thermoplastics Lead, Technology Innovation Institute, Masdar City, Abu Dhabi, UAE. Dr. Mohamed Nasr Saleh is Lead of the High Temperature Thermoplastic Composites Group at the Advanced Materials Research Centre (AMRC) part of the Technology Innovation Institute (TII). With a PhD degree in Composite Materials from the University of Manchester, UK, Dr. Mohamed has more than 10 years of experience in the field of composites and adhesives. Prior to joining TII in 2021, he held various research positions in the Netherlands (Delft University of Technology), and the United Kingdom (AMRC with Boeing-University of Sheffield & National Composites Certification and Evaluation Facility-University of Manchester) during which he was involved in many large-scale collaborative projects with industrial partners in the automotive, maritime, and aerospace sectors. He has over 40 research publications in the field of damage mechanics of composite materials, multi-scale modelling of 3D woven composites and structural health monitoring of composites and adhesively bonded joints, with a continuous focus on industrial applications. Milad Saeedifar Postdoctoral Researcher, Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, Iran. Dr. Milad Saeedifar graduated with a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Amirkabir University of Technology in Iran (summa cum laude). He later went on to pursue a three-year postdoc at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, at Delft University of Technology, in the Netherlands. His research field is mainly focused on non-destructive testing and structural health monitoring of composite structures. He has published over 50 papers in high-prestige ISI journals, including but not limited to Composites Part B, Composites Part A, Composites Science and Technology, Composite Structures, and Structural Health Monitoring. In addition, he has participated as a researcher in three European projects in the field of structural health monitoring of composite and hybrid structures, i.e., QUALIFY, ReMAP, and Ticoajo.
