Introduction
Rasoul Safdarian is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Qom University of Technology, Iran, with a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering–Manufacturing from Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, where he completed his doctoral studies in 2013. His research and professional experience focus on advanced manufacturing, metal forming, computational mechanics, and manufacturing process development. His work has particularly addressed forming limit diagrams, fracture and failure mechanisms, finite element modelling, and the numerical and experimental investigation of metallic materials and lightweight structures, including Tailor Welded Blanks (TWBs). Through a combination of computational modelling, constitutive analysis, damage and fracture mechanics, and CAE-based simulation, he has contributed to the understanding and optimization of complex manufacturing processes.
In recent years, Rasoul Safdarian has expanded his research toward Additive Manufacturing, Advanced Manufacturing, and Digital Manufacturing, with a focus on process development, simulation and CAE engineering, data-driven manufacturing, and Industry 4.0. His current research integrates finite element analysis, computational modelling, machine learning, and data-driven optimization to develop intelligent and efficient manufacturing processes. His research interests include process prediction, defect and failure assessment, process optimization, and the development of sustainable and digitally enabled manufacturing systems, with an emphasis on translating advanced computational and data-driven methodologies into practical R&D solutions for advanced manufacturing and lightweight engineering applications..
