Overview Research Education Contact
Davoud Jafari has been appointed as Assistant Professor in the Department of Design Production and Management (DPM) at the University of Twente (UT). Davoud obtained his Ph.D. in Thermal Engineering at the University of Pisa (Italy) in 2016. Later, Davoud joined DPM at UT in early 2017. His research's ultimate goal is to develop and engineer new materials, enabling energy solutions in the real world. To do this, he applies the physics of fabrication and thermal engineering to synthesize, characterize, and incorporate innovative materials into next-generation energy conversion and storage systems. Davoud currently works on advancing additive manufacturing techniques to fabricate metal matrix composites, and multiscale porous materials for heat transfer, and thermochemical and electrochemical technologies for terrestrial and space applications.
