Mohadeseh Taheri-Mousavi
Assistant Professor, Materials Science and Engineering
Courtesy Appointment, Mechanical Engineering
S. Mohadeseh Taheri-Mousavi joined CMU as an assistant professor in September 2022 from MIT where she was a postdoctoral associate jointly in the Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science and Engineering. Before that, she was a postdoctoral fellow at Brown University. She received her Ph.D. from EPFL, Switzerland, and her B.Sc. and M.Sc. from Sharif University of Technology, Iran. She received both early and advanced prestigious Swiss National Science Foundation fellowships for her postdoctoral studies at Brown and MIT. Taheri-Mousavi’s research was funded by large funding including grants from Naval Nuclear Laboratory, NASA STRI, DARPA, and Army Research Laboratory projects.
