About

Overview

Hamed is a senior lecturer (associate professor) in aerospace structures at the School of Science and Technology at City, University of London with expertise in multifunctional composites and composite structures. He is a member of the editorial boards of several journals including an editor for the Nature publishing Journal of Scientific Reports. He is the Editor/Author of book on ‘Composites Assembly for High Performance Fastener-less Structures’, and author of numerous high-impact journal papers and peer-reviewed conference articles in the area of composite materials, structures, manufacturing and multifunctional composites with specific research interest in the study of interaction between electromagnetic field and polymer composites, and its utilisation for multifunctional properties tailoring. 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).Ha med is a Fellow of Higher Education Academy, a Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, and a member of the European Society for Composite Materials.

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, 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.
