معرفی
Antoinette Maniatty is a Professor and Department Head of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Nuclear Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). She holds a B.S. from RPI (1987), two M.S. degrees from the University of Minnesota (1988) and Cornell University (1990), and a Ph.D. from Cornell (1991). Her career includes roles as a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Natal (South Africa) and faculty at RPI since 1992. She has received notable awards, including the Clare Boothe Luce Assistant Professorship (1992–1997), an NSF Young Investigator Award (1993), and ASME Fellow status (2005).
Her research focuses on materials science, finite element modeling, additive manufacturing, and electromigration in electronic materials. Key areas include laser powder-bed fusion, thermal analysis, and microstructure evolution in metals like Ti-6Al-4V and Inconel-718. She has pioneered studies on grain orientation effects in solder joints and developed control strategies for selective laser melting. Recent work integrates educational initiatives in engineering curriculum design.
