Short Biography:

Dr. Seyed Allameh (ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7726-415X

Scopus Author ID: 57022279800) is professor and Director of Engineering Technology Programs in the department of Physics, Geology and Engineering Technology of Northern Kentucky University where he has taught graduate and undergraduate courses since 2004. He received his PhD in 1993 from The Ohio State University in the field of Materials Science and Engineering. For his PhD, he worked on the energy and structure of interphase interfaces. As the postdoctoral researcher and then in 1995 as research associate at the Ohio State University he worked on the synthesis and characterization of electronic ceramics. In 1999 he joined Professors Winston Soboyejo and Anthony Evans of Princeton University as research staff scientist. During his 5 years at Princeton, he developed, tested and conducted research with microtesting systems investigating monotonic and fatigue loading properties of MEMS metallic and ceramic components. These included LIGA Ni and Si resonant structures. At NKU he has been teaching courses in engineering materials, mechanics and strength of materials, fluid power, thermodynamics, micro- and nanotechnology, geometric tolerancing, COOP and capstones I, II, and Interlocutory Physics.

Dr. Allameh has worked on the fabrication and characterization of nano-crystalline materials, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), thin film bimorphs, biomaterials, and nanostructures with applications in nanotechnology. He has a special interest in surfaces and interfaces, electron microscopy, nano-crystalline materials, nano-scale and microscale devices, and microtesting systems for mechanical behavior of MEMS and NEMS. He has developed state of the art microtesting systems for evaluation of mechanical behavior of MEMS components. These included tensile, compression, bending, buckling, fatigue and creep tests using laser interferometry and image correlation techniques. At Princeton, he developed a simple method for growing nano-scale structures including nanofins, nanorods, and thin-walled lightweight nanostructures.

Dr. Allameh has authored or co-authored over 92 articles both SCOPUS and non-SCOPUS listed. These are peer- reviewed journal papers or conference proceedings articles and book chapters. Further, he has given 69 presentations including invited international talks at various universities and conferences. He was the guest editor of a special issue of Journal of Materials Science and Engineering. He currently serves as an associate editor of Journal of Engineering and Science in Medical Diagnostics and Therapy. He has been a topic organizer at IMECE conferences since 2004 in the areas of biofuel production, biomimicked materials, and biomedical materials and tissue. He served on the governing board of Kentucky Academy of Science 2019-2022. He was the recipient of NKU 2017 Excellence in Research, Innovation and Creative Activity. He was listed in 2009 Marquis Who is Who in America. His current research is focused on the use of automation in the fabrication of bio-smart structures, development of biomimicked composites for construction application, micromechanical properties of 3D printed metals and reliability of additively manufactured ceramic composites.
