Dr. Kasra Momeni, an Iowa State University Department of Aerospace Engineering alumnus and now a professor of mechanical engineering at Louisiana Tech University, has had research published in the highly regarded interdisciplinary Naturepartner Journal (npj) 2D Materials and Applications. “Multiscale framework for simulation-guided growth of 2D materials” reveals a new path for engineering atomically thin materials, known as 2D materials, and tailoring their characteristics.

Momeni is an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Louisiana Tech. He received a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering from Iowa State in 2015 as a student of Anson Marston Distinguished Professor in Engineering Valery Levitas. While at Iowa State Momeni received the Zaffarano Prize Honorable Mention Award (2015); the Research Excellence Award (2015);
