Ahmed W. Abdelghany

I am a materials science and engineering researcher with a strong focus on sustainable innovation, advanced manufacturing, and alloy design. My research centres on the development and optimisation of advanced metallic systems through advanced Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques, including LPBF, DED, and WAAM. I am particularly interested in the microstructural evolution and mechanical performance of novel materials such as structural steel, ultra high strength steel, and High Entropy Alloys (HEAs). I investigate materials processed under complex conditions, including ultrafast thermal treatments and laser welding, by combining experimental testing and characterisation with thermodynamic modelling to uncover key structure–property relationships.

My aim is to bridge fundamental materials science with scalable, sustainable technologies for next-generation manufacturing. Whether through fostering international collaborations, mentoring emerging researchers, or contributing to global technological progress, I view research as an ongoing journey driven by curiosity, resilience, and purpose.
