Dr Yashar Javadi

Personal statement

Dr Yashar Javadi is a Strathclyde Chancellor’s Fellow (Lecturer as part ‎of Strathclyde Global Talent Programme) at the University of Strathclyde. His ‎multidisciplinary works have been reflected in his appointment which is a joint ‎appointment between two departments (EEE and DMEM). He is currently ‎Guest Editor of "Welding and Additive Manufacturing for Industry 4.0", a ‎special issue of "Journal of Manufacturing and Material Processing", and also in ‎the Topic Board of that journal. He is also editor of Special Issue "Robotic Non-‎Destructive Testing" in Sensors.‎ In a career spanning over 16 years in the field of engineering (particular focus ‎on welding, non-destructive evaluation, additive manufacturing and robotics), ‎he has worked as a lecturer and postdoctoral ‎research associate (at The ‎University of Manchester and the University of Strathclyde) in the academia ‎and also a manager of the welding/NDT department and welding engineer in ‎the industry. He has published ‎‎>40 journal papers with >1000 citations in total, ‎including two ‎papers with >100 ‎citations.‎ Currently, he is a member of Centre for Ultrasonic Engineering (CUE) where his ‎research focus is on the in-process inspection and residual stress measurement ‎‎(non-destructive methods) in the welding and Wire + Arc Additive ‎Manufacturing (WAAM). Some part of his current research outputs is reflected ‎in two WAAM/NDT papers published in Insight (2018) and Additive ‎Manufacturing (2019) journals plus two Welding/NDT papers recently ‎published (2020) in Materials & Design (in-process calibration) and Journal of ‎Manufacturing Processes (residual stress).‎ ‎* Open PhD positions (please email me for details):‎ ‎1) In-process calibration of a robotic NDE system used for high-temperature in-‎process inspection ‎2) In-process Material Evaluation of Welding and Additive Manufacturing ‎3) Non-destructive Evaluation of Residual Stress
