Mohamed Abdelmoula is a Research Associate at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, United States. Previously, he was a Marie Curie Ph.D. Fellow and worked on the Development of Ceramics 3D PRINTING Project funded by the European Commission. His primary focus is on advancing Powder Bed Fusion for Ceramics, metals, and alloy by integrating numerical modeling and experimental investigation.

During his Ph.D. research, Mohamed developed a simulation model that accurately predicted appropriate process parameters for Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) of Ceramics and investigated residual stress and distortion, particularly in Aluminum Oxides and Silicon carbides, which allowed him to print intricate designs from these challenging materials. Furthermore, He developed an innovative preheating system for PBF of ceramics to overcome difficulties in ceramics PBF, such as thermal shocks, cracks, and residual stress.

Currently, he is focusing on the development of a high-fidelity micro simulation model to predict various melt pool characteristics in Powder Bed Fusion. Furthermore, he focuses on developing a microstructure evolution model to predict the melt pool's microstructure in PBF. These efforts aim to gain a deeper understanding of the melt pool behavior and improve the 3D printing of ceramic and metallic materials.
