Professional Highlights

  • In 2019, Maryam graduated with a PhD in Materials, Mechatronics and Systems Engineering (Materials Science and Engineering) from the University of Trento in Italy. After graduation, she worked as Postdoctoral Research Associate and Research Project Leader at the University of Trento and the Institute for Corrosion and Multiphase Technology (ICMT) at Ohio University. Her main fields of research are Materials Science, Corrosion, and Electrochemistry. Her PhD research project was focused on corrosion characterization and protection of Al-Si alloys produced using a novel semi-solid casting technology called “Rheo-High Pressure Die Casting. During her PhD, she worked on cerium-based conversion coating and electrodeposited polypyrrole coating. During her career at ICMT she worked on various projects and topics including top of the line corrosion and mitigation, organic corrosion inhibitors, high temperature CO2/H2S corrosion, CO2 supercritical corrosion, and mechanistic modeling of corrosion.
