Seyed Morteza Mirmohammadi | Thermoplastic Composites | Best Researcher Award

Islamic Azad University |  Iran

Dr. Seyed Morteza Mirmohammadi is an Iranian researcher whose academic and professional trajectory spans textile engineering, polymer-based composites, and industrial systems optimization. He earned his B.Sc. in Textile Engineering from Islamic Azad University, Kashan, followed by an M.Sc. in Industrial Engineering from Islamic Azad University. He is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Textile Engineering at Islamic Azad University, alongside completing a DBA in Finance from Fanavaran Hakim, Iran, reflecting his multidisciplinary academic profile. His research focuses on advanced materials, particularly polymer-based composites and hybrid woven fabrics, with a strong emphasis on ballistic impact resistance and energy absorption in textile structures. He applies advanced optimization techniques such as Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to develop efficient design and management strategies in engineering systems. Mirmohammadi has presented at numerous national and international conferences, actively contributing to the fields of industrial engineering, composites, and textile technologies, and has published several scholarly works, including notable studies on ballistic impact resistance of hybrid Kevlar/Polypropylene woven fabric composites. He has also been engaged in academic workshops on strategic management and quality systems, aligning his technical expertise with organizational and managerial insights. His professional qualifications include certifications in internal auditing, occupational health and safety, CE marking and risk assessment, as well as marketing management. With advanced skills in research, academic writing, statistical modeling software (SPSS, MATLAB, MINITAB), and quality engineering, he has positioned himself as a versatile scholar and practitioner bridging the gap between materials science, textile engineering, and strategic industrial management.
