An associate professor at Michigan State University will be the guest speaker at the 3M Global Tech Forum Seminar on Tuesday, May 9, in Minnesota.
Roozbeh Dargazany, from MSU’s High Performance Material Group in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, will share his insights and experiences with 3M's technical community at the seminar at 3M Headquarter in St. Paul.
Dargazany will present an overview on his research, "Assuring Long-term Performance of Adhesives for EV Applications: A Physics-based Machine-learned Predictive Engine."
“I will delve into the latest advancements in predicting the long-term performance of adhesives for electric vehicle applications,” he said.
3M is a global leader in adhesive technologies, serving multiple industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics.
Dargazany said the Global Tech Forum Seminar is an opportunity for industry leaders, researchers, and experts to come together to share knowledge, network, and discuss cutting-edge advancements in material design and innovations.

Roozbeh Dargazany studies the micro-mechanics of soft and bio-inspired materials. He is particularly interested in the mechanics of nano-composites such as elastomers, gels, biological tissues, and ultra-tough composites.
His research focuses on the understanding of the multi-scale, multi-paradigm mechanics of materials with large deformations and its implementation on development of new constitutive methods to predict the response of these materials. By incorporating concepts from structural engineering, materials science and biology, his goal is to bridge the understanding in different scales ranging from molecular to macro-scales to provide a complete picture of the hierarchial mechanisms that characterize the material performance. Development of such an understanding is fundamental in engineering of many advanced materials, structures and devices.
Prior to joining MSU, he worked as the material specialist in a leading tire manufacturing company and also served as the supervisor of a research group on polymers in RWTH Aachen University in Germany.
He received his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the RWTH Aachen University in Germany and did his postdoc at the Department of Material Science and Engineering at MIT.
