Dr. Mehdi Jadidi
Biosketch
Dr. Jadidi received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Concordia University in 2016 under the supervision of Prof. Dolatabadi. His doctoral study on compressible reactive multiphase flows primarily focused on understanding the physical phenomena involved in suspension thermal spray processes. Following his Ph.D., he investigated droplet impact dynamics on solid surfaces at École Polytechnique de Montréal as a postdoctoral fellow. He then returned to Concordia University to design and develop a liquid cold spray system. This new machine will be used for coating deposition, manufacturing new metallic components, and repairing worn or damaged parts. In 2020, he joined the Dworkin research group at Toronto Metropolitan University, concentrating on the simulation of combustion processes. He developed novel machine and deep learning models for the low-cost prediction of soot emissions and chemistry in laminar and turbulent flames. He joined CACT in 2022 as a research associate.
Research
Dr. Jadidi’s main research interests include thermal spray and surface engineering, cold spray additive manufacturing, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), multiphase flows, atomization and sprays, combustion, and machine/deep learning approaches.
