Dr Amirhossein Sadeghian is a Materials/Welding Engineer and Research Fellow at the Centre for Manufacturing and Materials, Coventry University, where he works on advanced laser-based manufacturing. He holds a PhD from Coventry University, where his doctoral research focused on laser welding of dissimilar materials for lithium-ion battery modules in electric vehicles.

Dr Sadeghian’s research integrates data-driven laser process development, in-process sensing/monitoring, and quantitative post-process characterisation to enhance manufacturing precision, sustainability, and reliability. His work advances digital transformation in laser-based manufacturing, incorporating sensor-based monitoring, data analytics, and predictive modelling to enable intelligent, data-driven manufacturing environments. He explores the application of digital twins, AI-assisted defect detection, and real-time process optimisation to support zero-defect production and improved energy efficiency.

Dr Sadeghian actively collaborates across disciplines, working at the intersection of materials science, manufacturing engineering, inspection/sensor technologies, and industrial applications.
