Akram Abbasniabazeh

(she/her/her)

Akram earned her Bachelor's degree in Materials Science and Engineering from Ferdowsi University, where she specialized in the deformation mechanisms of aluminum-based alloy sheets under plane strain conditions. She continued her education at the same university, completing a Master's degree in Advanced Materials Science. During her master's studies, she focused on the thermal and mechanical properties of metallic glasses. Following her master's program, Akram joined the University of Tehran as a research assistant. Her work there primarily revolved around the structure-property relationships of glassy alloys and the influence of electronic structure on their glass-forming ability. To further verify her computational research results, she conducted related experimental studies at the Erich Schmid Institute of Materials Science (ESI). In addition to her academic pursuits, Akram gained valuable industry experience. She initially worked as the quality control manager in a steel plant (pelletizing unit) and later continued her industrial career in the design and manufacturing department of the boilers and heat exchangers factory. Currently, Akram is pursuing her PhD in the Micromechanics group at the Zernike Institute for Advanced Materials. Under the supervision of Dr. Andrea Giuntoli, her research focuses on the mechanical properties of heterogeneous bottlebrush networks.
