About Olga
Dr Olga Zinovieva is an ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) Fellow and Senior Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at UNSW Canberra, University of New South Wales, where she serves as the Mechanical Engineering Program Coordinator in the School of Engineering and Technology. She joined UNSW in 2022 as a Lecturer and was promoted to Senior Lecturer. Previously, she held a position at the Airbus Endowed Chair for Integrative Simulation and Engineering of Materials and Processes at the University of Bremen, Germany, and worked at the Russian Academy of Sciences, Tomsk Polytechnic University, and Tomsk State University in Russia. She has also completed visiting positions at UNSW Canberra, the University of Bremen, Sao Paulo State University in Brazil, and Centre of Materials Mines ParisTech in France. As Chief Investigator, she has obtained 20 grants, including the ARC DECRA project 'Enhancing properties of advanced 3D-printed alloys' (2025-2028), NSW DIN Pilot Project 'Enhanced helmet protection' (2024-2025), CSIRO ON Prime Performance Bonus 'Digital solutions for advanced manufacturing' (2024), UNSW Start-up Grant (2022-2024), and DFG-RFBR project (2017-2022).
Dr Zinovieva's primary research interests are in additive manufacturing, digital engineering, mechanics of materials, impact dynamics, and integrated computational materials engineering, with a current emphasis on processing-microstructure-property relationships in metal additive manufacturing through multiscale modelling. Her publications include 'Ti6Al4V ELI microlattices produced by electron beam powder bed fusion: an investigation into the process-structure-property relationship across a wide range of strain rates' (Materials Science and Engineering A, 2025), 'Multiscale deformation-induced surface pattern in 3D-printed AlSi10Mg under uniaxial compression' (Materials Science and Engineering A, 2025), 'Building Confidence, Interest, and Opportunity: A Social Cognitive Career Theory-Based Analysis of the Young Women in Engineering Outreach Program' (The ITEA Journal of Test and Evaluation, 2025), and the book chapter 'Predictive simulation of microstructural pattern in additively manufactured metallic materials' (2022). She holds editorial positions as Junior Editorial Board Member of the Journal of Materials Informatics and Digital Manufacturing Technology and Guest Editor for Metals special issue on microstructure and properties of metallic materials produced by additive manufacturing. Zinovieva teaches courses including ZEIT1501 Engineering Practice and Design, ZEIT1504 Introduction to Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering, and ZEIT3501 Engineering Materials, and leads mechanical engineering activities in the Young Women in Engineering outreach program.
