معرفی
Dr. Arif S. Malik is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas), affiliated with the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science. His research focuses on computational mechanics, uncertainty analysis, and advanced manufacturing processes including additive manufacturing, laser peening, and metal rolling. He holds a PhD, MS, and BS in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering from Wright State University.
His major awards include the NSF CAREER Award (2015) and AFRL Summer Faculty Fellowship (2010-2015). Research interests span reliability-based design optimization, fluid-structure interaction in micro air vehicles, and probabilistic modeling in manufacturing. Recent work emphasizes residual stress analysis in additive manufacturing, hybrid WAAM machining, and thermomechanical modeling in advanced processes.
Publications highlight contributions to laser impact welding, cold rolling dynamics, and smart grid optimization. His lab website and Google Scholar profile document over 100 peer-reviewed articles since 2001. Current projects include NSF-funded research on tool-path design optimization for additive and machined parts.
