Yashar Javadi

Dr Yashar Javadi is a Strathclyde Chancellor’s Fellow (Lecturer as part of Strathclyde Global Talent Programme) at the University of Strathclyde. His multidisciplinary works have been reflected in his appointment which is a joint appointment between the Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering (EEE) and the Department of Design, Manufacturing & Engineering Management (DMEM). He is currently Guest Editor of "Welding and Additive Manufacturing for Industry 4.0", a special issue of "Journal of Manufacturing and Material Processing", and also in the Topic Board of that journal.

In a career spanning over 15 years in the field of engineering (particular focus on welding, non-destructive evaluation, additive manufacturing and robotics), he has worked as a lecturer and postdoctoral ‎research associate (at The University of Manchester and the University of Strathclyde) in the academia and also a manager of the welding/NDT department and welding engineer in the industry. He has published ‎‎63 refereed ‎technical articles (including 36 journal papers), first author on 43 papers, with h-index of 16 and 852 citations in total, including two ‎papers with >100 ‎citations.

His international ‎reputation in Welding/NDT has been also reflected in 133 manuscripts he has reviewed for many engineering journals (e.g., NDT&E, Ultrasonics, Materials & Design, etc.).‎ Based on the Network map section of Pure at the University of Strathclyde (UoS), his co-authors have been spread all over ‎the world from India to the Middle East, Europe and North America.

Currently, he is a member of Centre for Ultrasonic Engineering (CUE) where his research focus is on the in-process inspection and residual stress measurement (non-destructive methods) in the welding and Wire + Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM). Some part of his current research outputs is reflected in two WAAM/NDT papers published in Insight (2018) and Additive Manufacturing (2019) journals plus two Welding/NDT papers recently published (2020) in Materials & Design (in-process inspection) and Journal of Manufacturing Processes (residual stress).
