Leila Ladani
Leila Jannesari Ladani is an Iranian-American scientist and professor of mechanical engineering specializing in the manufacturing engineering of additive manufacturing through laser sintering and laser melting, including the computer modeling of these processes and the mechanical and thermal reliability of the resulting products. She is a professor in the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering of Arizona State University.[1]
Education and career[edit]
Ladani was a student of mechanical engineering at Isfahan University of Technology, where she earned a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1999, and a master's degree in the field of fluid mechanics and energy in 2001, beginning her doctoral studies there in 2001–2002. After transferring to the University of Maryland, College Park, she earned a second master's degree in 2005 and completed her Ph.D. in 2007 in the area of mechanics of solids, manufacturing of microelectronics,[1].
She has held faculty positions at Utah State University, the University of Alabama, the University of Connecticut,[2] and the University of Texas at Arlington, before moving to Arizona State University in 2019 to direct The Polytechnic School, one of six component schools of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering.[3][4]
Book[edit]
Ladani is the author of Additive Manufacturing of Metals: Materials, Processes, Tests, and Standards (DEStech, 2021).
Recognition[edit]
Ladani was the 2015 recipient of the Women In Engineering Award of the ASME Electronic & Photonic Packaging Division.[5] She was named an ASME Fellow in 2020.[6]
