This episode discusses new materials and their application in sciences such as nanotechnology, surface engineering, material management and sustainability.
Graphene is one of the most important new two-dimensional materials that are sought to be used in various industries. Another type of new material that is receiving attention nowadays is self-healing materials that significantly reduce project costs and air pollution.
Another topic under discussion in this episode is the use of drones or laser scanners in the field of remote sensing, as well as the International Society for Autism Research (INSAR). Drones are used to collect data with higher accuracy and increase safety in the work environment. Also, the issue of rock slope stability is discussed in this episode.
She received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in the field of mining engineering and rock mechanics in 2009 from the University of Tehran, and then, she worked in consulting engineering companies for five years. In 2015, she immigrated to the U.S. to continue their studies in geotechnics and received their master’s and doctorate degrees from New Mexico Tech and Arizona universities, respectively. After receiving her doctorate in 2021, she is working as a geotechnical engineer at Stance Consulting Engineering Company. Dr Molaei’s research area is focused on fracture mechanics and nanoscale modeling using molecular dynamics.
