Dr Sina Askarinejad

Dr. Sina Askarinejad joined the University of Dundee as a Lecturer in School of Science and Engineering, bringing with him a diverse background in both academia and industry. Prior to his role at Dundee, he worked as a Senior Mechanical Engineer at Dyson Technology, where he focused on the design of electric motor components and the prediction of their durability. Earlier in his career, he held a post-doctoral Research Associate position at the University of Cambridge, contributing to fundamental research on corrosion, adhesives, and adhesion mechanisms. He earned his undergraduate degree from Sharif University of Technology and went on to complete both his Master’s and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts, USA. His broad research interests span the mechanics of materials and structures, computational and data science, biology, and applied mathematics. He is particularly focused on developing computational and data-driven frameworks to predict, control, and engineer the behaviour of complex material systems. He is currently a member of Scotland Beyond NetZero, and his ongoing research includes work on enzymatic concrete, sustainability in metal additive manufacturing, structural materials for wind energy structures, and bio-based composites.
