Dr Mandana Kariminejad
Dr. Mandana Kariminejad is a postdoctoral researcher at I-Form – the Research Ireland Centre for Advanced Manufacturing, based at Atlantic Technological University (ATU) Sligo. She earned her Ph.D. in Mechatronic Engineering from ATU in 2024, where her research focused on the optimisation and real-time control of injection moulding processes to reduce cycle time while maintaining high dimensional accuracy.
Her academic journey began at Shiraz University in Iran, earning a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. She then completed a master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on Control and Dynamic Systems at K.N. Toosi University of Technology in Tehran, Iran.
Currently, Mandana’s research at I-Form focuses on advancing data-driven modelling and control techniques for inkjet-based 3D printing. Her work aims to enhance precision and efficiency in fabricating sodium/potassium-ion (Na/K-ion) batteries, a promising and sustainable alternative to traditional lithium-ion technologies.
