Reza Taherian, Associate Professor and Head of the Polymer Research Laboratory, Faculty of Chemical and Materials Engineering, Shahrood University of Technology, Iran. He received his PhD in Materials Engineering from Shiraz University in 2011. His research interests and related publication works center on carbon-polymer composites, with investigations of their porosity, conductivity, and mechanical and thermal properties. For Elsevier, he has previously authored Electrical Conductivity in Polymer-Based Composites (2018). He has commercialized products through his company in the field of electrically and thermally conductive adhesives, and is actively involved in manufacturing and consulting with various companies on the production of composites reinforced with carbon and glass fibers for applications such as PEM fuel cells, aircraft bodies, and similar technologies.
