I am Shahriyar Keshavarz, currently employed as a Research Scientist in the Thermodynamics and Kinetics group within the Materials Science and Engineering Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Since 2011, my involvement in Computational Solid Mechanics within the multi-scale context has been substantial. This journey commenced during my post-doctoral program at the Civil Engineering Department of Johns Hopkins University, with a primary focus on addressing 'Multi-scale problems in nickel-based superalloys' for aerospace applications. This research has entailed pioneering approaches in theoretical, computational, and experimental methodologies for Nickel-based superalloys, advanced metallic materials crucial for extreme environments. My academic journey includes Master's and Ph.D. programs at the Civil Engineering Department of Sharif University of Technology, where I collaborated closely with Professor Khoei. In my Ph.D. program, I concentrated on simulating and optimizing cold and hot powder compaction processes, a highly applicable method in metallurgy for producing metal components.
