About the Speaker:

Dr. Alaa Elwany is an assistant professor at the Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering in Texas A&M University. He acquired a Ph.D. in Industrial & Systems Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2009, and a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Production Engineering from Alexandria University, Egypt, in 2002 and 2004, respectively. Prior to joining Texas A&M, he worked as a research scientist at the Manufacturing Systems Research laboratory (General Motors R&D), and a faculty member in Eindhoven University of Technology, the Netherlands.

Dr. Elwany's broad research interests are in the modeling, analysis, and control of advanced manufacturing processes and systems, with particular emphasis on metal additive manufacturing and uncertainty quantification in integrated computational materials engineering (ICME). His research has been funded by leading organizations including NASA, Airfoce Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Netherlands Institute for Scientific Research (NWO), and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). He serves as a board member in the Quality Control and Reliability Engineering (QCRE) division at IISE, and is one of the recipients of SME's Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineer award.
