Amirhossein Enayati

Amirhossein earned his B.Sc. in Polymer Engineering in 2020 from Tabriz University of Technology (Sahand). He then completed his M.Sc. in Polymer Engineering (Processing) in 2022 at the same university through the Graduate Talent Program of the Ministry of Science, under the supervision of Prof. Behzad Pourabbas. His research focused on the synthesis and functionalization of monomers for UV-curable resins and bio-inks for 3D printing applications. His master’s work further investigated the synthesis and photopolymerization behavior of novel multifunctional epoxy-methacrylate macromers for advanced 3D printing formulations. Following his master’s degree, Amir joined the research group of Prof. Mehdi Salami-Kalajahi, where he worked on the design of photo-curable polymer electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries until 2024. In parallel with his academic work, he gained substantial industrial experience, serving as Chief Research, Development and Technology Officer (CTO) in a plastics manufacturing company specializing in extrusion, injection molding, and thermoforming processes until November 2024. His additional industrial experience includes working as a Quality Control Specialist in the polymer pipe industry, as well as co-founding startups focused on the development of vat photopolymerization-based 3D printing inks, photo-curable resins, and paints in 2020 and 2022, respectively. His other research projects include the synthesis of stimuli-responsive nanoparticles via emulsion polymerization, the development of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)-based bioplastics, 3D printing of composite materials, and the synthesis of a fluorescent magnetic nanosensor using nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC). His research interests include polymer chemistry, photopolymerization (3D/4D printing), emulsion polymerization, polymer electrolytes/battery , and polymer recycling. He joined POLYMAT and the University of the Basque Country (EHU) in December 2024 as a Ph.D. student. He is currently conducting his doctoral research under the supervision of Dr. Aitor Barquero. His research is part of the Industrial Liaison Program (ILP), focusing on the design of advanced bonding/debonding chemistries to improve the recyclability of coatings and adhesives from various substrates.
