Mahmoud Mostafavi is a mechanical engineer whose main research interest is structural integrity: fatigue, fracture and creep.
He received his PhD from The University of Bristol, Department of Mechanical Engineering in 2009; the focus of his doctorate research was combined numerical – experimental analysis of a range of structural integrity problems: multi-axial and mixed mode fracture and micromechanics of metal failure.
After his PhD he joined the Materials Performance Centre at The University of Manchester as a research associate, funded by EDF Energy, to study multi-axial damage initiation in nuclear graphite. He then joined The University of Oxford in 2011 as a James Martin Fellow to work on three-dimensional study of damage initiation, successfully combining digital volume correlation.
