Hamidreza Torbati-Sarraf

Hamidreza Torbati-Sarraf studies how metals and alloys corrode (degrade due to chemical or electrochemical reactions) and how manufacturing methods affect this corrosion resistance. Much of the work examines materials made by additive manufacturing (3D printing metal parts, including laser powder bed fusion) as well as steel used in concrete structures and high entropy alloys (metals made from multiple elements in near-equal amounts). The research combines microstructure analysis (studying the internal grain and phase structure of materials) with electrochemical testing methods like impedance spectroscopy to understand and improve material durability.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade with a peak in 2020, generally averaging about 3 papers per year over the last five years without a clear sustained increase or decline.
