About Dr. Emon

Dr. Omar Faruk Emon works as a Process Development Engineer at Howmet Aerospace where he applies 3D Printing technologies for manufacturing Aircraft Engine components. He has an extensive experience in process, system, and material development for various 3D printing technologies such as SLA, DLP, FDM, DIW, PolyJet, and PBF. 

Prior to Howmet, he worked as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of New Haven. He led the Smart Fabrication Lab at UNewHaven, where students were involved in cutting-edge research on additive manufacturing. Dr. Emon had a research focus on the additive manufacturing of smart polymers and printed electronics. His team developed new additive manufacturing systems for printing functional polymers and explored 3D printing solutions for biomedical applications.

Before joining UNewHaven, he served as academic staff at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. During his time at Cornell, he mentored students in their research projects and managed a design lab at the Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering. Dr. Emon earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from The University of Akron, Ohio. His dissertation focused on 3D Printing of ionic liquid-based soft polymeric pressure sensors and their applications. He received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), Dhaka, Bangladesh.
