About

Anahita Emami is a researcher at the forefront of advanced manufacturing and materials science, with a focus on creating multifunctional nanocomposites. Her most impactful work explores the intersection of additive manufacturing and material design, particularly through carbon-based piezoresistive polymer nanocomposites. This research, published in 2022 and already garnering 17 citations, demonstrates how extrusion-based 3D printing can produce complex geometries with embedded sensing capabilities—a significant leap beyond conventional manufacturing. Emami’s contributions extend to experimental tribology, where she designed a novel portable test rig for studying friction and wear. Unlike traditional lab-bound setups, her system enables both indoor and outdoor testing without substrate size or type limitations, offering unprecedented flexibility for real-world applications. Earlier in her career, she applied her engineering acumen to robotics, designing and simulating a fixed-plinth pipe-welding robot aimed at improving industrial efficiency. While her citation counts reflect a growing body of work, the practical ingenuity of her portable tribometer and her pioneering integration of piezoresistive materials into 3D-printable structures mark her as an innovator in sustainable, high-performance manufacturing.
