Hamed Samadi, 30, received his BSc in Ceramics Engineering from Iran University of Science & Technology in 1997 and his MSc from Materials and Energy Research Center in 1999 in the same field. His thesis at both levels was based on refractory castables. He has been awarded a scholarship by Iran Ministry of Science, Research and Technology and joined the University of Toronto in 2003. His thesis is entitled "An alternative thermal barrier coating for diesel engines” which involves modeling and measuring residual stresses in plasma sprayed coatings and to find an optimal combination of low thermal conductivity, low stresses during service and structural and chemical stability in multilayer coatings.
