About

Prof. Jan Sher Akmal is an assistant professor at the department of mechanical engineering, Aalto University and a principle investigator at EOS Metal Materials, Electro Optical Systems Finland Oy. His scientific research focuses on implementation of industrial additive manufacturing (AM) with emphasis on decision-making, design, embedding, and metrology for AM. He received his D.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2022 and M.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2017 with distinction from Aalto University. Prof. Akmal has a well-founded international background as he has acquired education from four different countries including Pakistan, Canada, Germany and Finland. He has gained over seven years of experience, particularly in product development using advanced manufacturing technologies, from national and international R&D projects at Aalto University, VTT Technical Research Center of Finland, and the Finnish Defense Research Agency.
