Presentation Title: Current Progress and Future Opportunities in Microstructure Control in Fusion-Based Additive Manufacturing

Bio: Dr. Sneha Nara is an Assistant Professor in Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. Her research focuses on investigating process-structure-property relationships in fusion-based metal additive manufacturing (AM) by integrating computational and experimental approaches. Dr. Narra pursued graduate education at Carnegie Mellon University, where she obtained her M.S. in computational mechanics in 2013, and a M.S. and Ph.D. in mechanical engineering in 2015 and 2017, respectively. She completed postdoctoral training at CMU’s Next Manufacturing Center facilities and makerspaces that foster an integrated environment of education, research, and industry collaborations. She joined the CMU mechanical engineering department in 2021, after spending three years as an Assistant Professor at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. She is currently serving as the Associate Editor of the Additive Manufacturing journal and plays an active role in organizing symposia through The Minerals Metals and Materials Society Additive Manufacturing Bridge Committee.
