Dr. Mahjouri-Samani is currently an associate professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Auburn University (AU), leading the Laser-Assisted Science and Engineering (LASE) group. He received his BS (2008) and Ph.D. (2013) degrees in ECE from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) and spent four years as a postdoctoral research associate in the Center for Nanophase Materials Sciences (CNMS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). During his PhD and Postdoc appointments, his research focus was on laser-based synthesis and processing of nanoscale and quantum materials and devices. Currently, Dr. Mahjouri-Samani's research group is focused on investigating the laser-materials interactions in laser-based synthesis, laser processing, and laser diagnostics of emerging nano/quantum materials and devices. His current research activities include: Pioneering the laser-based additive nanomanufacturing of multifunctional materials and hybrid structures; Understanding the laser-materials interactions in additive manufacturing processes; Investigating the laser-based synthesis and processing of nanoscale and quantum materials; and Bridging AM and quantum materials research. Dr. Mahjouri-Samani has over 100 peer-reviewed articles in journals, conference proceedings, and patents. Dr. Mahjouri-Samani has been a member of SPIE since 2010.
