Iman Salehinia

Assistant Professor

biography

Dr. Salehinia is currently a Research Associate in School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering , Washington State University. He received his B.Sc. degree (2004) from AmirKabir University (Tehran Polytechnic), Iran; his MSc. Degree from Khajeh Nasir Toosi University of Technology (2007), Iran; and his PhD degree (2013) in Mechanical Engineering from Washington State University. His current research focuses on the new materials design through predictive modeling using hand-in-hand multiscale models and experimental approaches. He is collaborating with Purdue University and Los Alamos National Lab. His PhD research strived to investigate the mechanisms of initiation of plastic deformation (dislocation nucleation) in metallic single crystals in order to define the parameters that govern the mechanical behavior and stochastic yielding of metallic crystals in small size scales.
