Mehrshad Mehrpouya is an Associate Professor in the Department of Design, Production, and Management (DPM) at the University of Twente. He leads the Advanced Manufacturing of Smart Materials and Structures (SMART) group.

He earned his Ph.D. from Sapienza University of Rome in 2017 through a fellowship program. His research specializes in advanced manufacturing of shape memory materials, developing experimental and simulation approaches for laser welding and additive manufacturing. He has contributed to several European and national projects, such as REDI, reSHAPE, PRIMA, OPTIMA, SmartDamper, and ARGUS. Mehrshad co-authored the books Additive Manufacturing of Biopolymers and Additive Manufacturing of Shape Memory Materials, published by Elsevier.
