Over the last thirty years with funds from federal agencies and private industries, my research focused on developing mechanistic-based models to make the essential predictions of quality and damage
management in materials subjected to severe environment of thermal and mechanical loading during fabrication and service. My work characteristically has a strong experimental component, but leads to the predictions which are essential for application to process and product design methodologies. 2- I have introduced the effective Digital Technology Approach (DTA) for Generative Design and Additive
Manufacturing, for critical applications in biomedical and aerospace industries. My research has been focused over the last ten years on the application of DTA for development of quality and cost effective
biomedical devices and tools for improvement of patients’ outcomes and enhancing the quality of the health care system in USA. 3- I have provided leadership to the establishment of a multidisciplinary
research and technology transfer centre (The Industrial and Technological Development Centre, ITDC) at the University of Missouri. In January of 2009 I founded the Industrial Technology Development and Management (ITech.D&M), LLC Company. This small business company is dedicated to enhancing American productivity and competitiveness through research, development, and technology transfer. 4- In my role as educator, I have developed several undergraduate and graduate courses in the area of manufacturing process engineering and product design. I have also developed three major laboratories including the manufacturing systems lab, process simulation and control Lab., and rapid prototyping and digital design Laboratory. 5- I have participated in many review panels at NSF and organized several conferences and symposiums for professional organizations. I am member of the National Research Council (NRC) team for assessment of research doctorate programs in the USA I have supervised twenty three Doctoral Degree Candidates and over sixty MS Students during my tenure at University of Missouri (MU). I have published more than hundred technical papers in the open literature. I gave more than seventy technical presentations at international meetings in the United States, Canada, Europe and the Middle East.
