Biography
Dr Saden H. Zahiri is a principal scientist at CSIRO and a professor (adjunct) at Swinburne University of Technology. His current interest is creation of scalable robotic additive processes for melt-less recrystallisation and metallurgy with focus on generation of clean energy. His achievements as one of the pioneers of cold spray technology in Australia since 2004 have been acknowledged by CSIRO clients through multiple sub-licensed patents including the first (+$100 million) ASX listed company in the field. His initiatives in science and technology resulted in 130+ publications that includes peer reviewed scientific articles, patents and commercial reports. Highlights of his scientific achievement were award winning investigations in porosity and residual stress formation in cold spray robotic additive manufacturing that includes development of a digital twin for solid state supersonic deposition. Saden has a proven track record on initiating and leading large (multi-million) projects that combine revenue generating commercial outcomes with applied science for training a highly skilled tertiary (PhD) educated workforce via collaboration with universities.
