Dr Sakineh Fotouhi

  • Research Associate (Systems Power & Energy)

Biography

Sakineh graduated with honours MSc (June 2015) and PhD (June 2021) degrees in mechanical engineering, her MSc was singled out for its quality in a nationwide assessment. She has over 30 high-quality journal and conference publications in her research field.

Sakineh recently joined the C-MIU ultrasonic research group. She is working on a high-profile ONR-funded project on single sample characterisation of miniature piezoelectric materials with Prof. Sandy Cochran. Before joining C-MIU, she was working with the MMRG research group on an EPSRC project (EP/V009451/1) with Dr Mohammad Fotouhi, on smart and high-impact-tolerant composite materials to prevent catastrophic failure.

Sakineh is a lecturer for Composite Materials and Structural Analysis and Design and Creativity Lab courses at the University of Glasgow. She is the University of Glasgow’s ambassador in Aurora which is an Advanced HE's leadership development initiative for women.

Before joining the University of Glasgow, Sakineh was a research assistant at the University of Girona, since Sep 2020, working on designing and characterisation of 3D printed laminated composites. She was a lecturer in mechanical engineering, and she has over 3 years of experience in the industry as a research engineer in industrial sectors related to composite materials engineering and finite element modelling.

Sakineh has established a broad international network, collaborating with important academic institutions including Bristol, Strathclyde, Nottingham Trent, Bologna, Delft, and Girona and industrial sectors. These collaborations have proven very fruitful, leading to high-quality peer-reviewed publications, and providing deep experience in research management and co-supervision of students.

Research interests

Sakineh's research is now concerned with piezoelectric materials' characterisation for ultrasonic applications. She is working specifically on miniature piezoelectric characterisation using a novel single sample technique. She is interested in establishing a virtual characterisation lab for advanced materials such as piezo composites. Sakineh has strong skills in finite element modelling of piezoelectric and composite materials using ABAQUS, LS-Dyna, OnScale, and COMSOL software. She also carries out theoretical and experimental procedures for verification.
