Research

Dr. Sheidaei is the director of the Integrated Computational Material Design (ICMD) Laboratory. She has over 10 years of experience conducting research on developing microstructure reconstruction techniques for materials , establishing numerical techniques to homogenize microstructure to obtain physical properties (stiffness, strength, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, permeability, degradation, coupling (piezoelectric), material informatics for structure properties links, application of scientific machine learning and design and optimization of the printable metamaterial, computational modeling of composite materials including nano-reinforced composites. In ICMD Lab, she brings together the capabilities of computational mechanics methods, data science, experimental approaches, and material processing to design and manufacture advanced material systems.

  • Multifunctional material for competing properties in space applications
  • Energy harvesting materials such as piezoelectric materials
  • Energy storage materials such as lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells
  • Biological materials such as bone (in meso scale) and fibrous soft tissue such as liver
  • Biomaterial such as biodegradable polymeric scaffold and bone fixation implant
