Senior Lecturer in Aerospace Structures

School of Science & Technology Department of Engineering

Hamed is a senior lecturer (associate professor) in aerospace structures at the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics at City, University of London. He has recently secured an EPSRC Joint Manufacturing Hubs grant on Contact-less Dielectric Process Monitoring (CDPM) of Composites Manufacturing (EPSRC Composites Manufacturing and EPSRC Metrology Hubs). Hamed is a Fellow of Higher Education Academy, an associate member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers as Charter Engineer, a member of the European Society for Composite Materials, and an academic member of the SAE Commercial Aircraft Composite Repair Committee. Hamed received his PhD in mechanical engineering on a collaborative project between the University of Limerick, Imperial College London and Helmholtz-Zentrüm Berlin. He worked at the Irish Centre for Composites Research as a post-doctoral researcher on three consecutive projects on composites materials, MAAXIMUS project funded through EU FP7 grant agreement nº213371 led by Airbus (www.maaximus.eu), Design of Optimised Composites for Impact Applications (OPTCOM) project funded by Enterprise Ireland (grant CF/2013/3012B), and the Science Foundation Ireland funded FALCOM project (www.falcom.ie) on a novel adhesively bonded composite joining technology. Hamed joined Cranfield University in UK in 2016 as assistant professor in Composite Engineering at the Enhanced Composites and Structures Centre, where he developed and led the Multifunctional Composites Joining, Modelling and Repair research group (www.cranfield.ac.uk/multicomp), and established a CPD/postgraduate module on aerospace Composites Integration Repair & Joining (www.cranfield.ac.uk/CIRJ). He has been the principal investigator of the EPSRC New Investigator project on 'Self-Tuning Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Adaptive Nanocomposite (www.STRAINcomp.com)', Ref. EP/R016828/1, EPSRC DTP grant for 'Microstructural Study of Multifunctional Nanocomposites', Ref. EP/R513027/1, and the EPSRC Institutional Sponsorship Award for 'Dielectric Activated Resin Cure for Composite Repair (DARCRep)', Ref. EP/P511134/1. He has also led a H2020 European Regional Development Funded project, and numerous direct industrial sponsored projects.
