Payam’s research involves the development of high-strength and lightweight magnesium alloys for use in the automotive and aerospace industries. Specifically, his work aims to promote uniform and finer magnesium grain structures via advanced processing methods. These include the addition of novel micro- and nano-sized nucleants as well as the optimization of high-intensity ultrasonic irradiation techniques. Payam’s research is motivated by the potential to increase magnesium usage in industry, in order to improve fuel efficiency and decrease vehicle emissions through lightweighting.
