Farhan Mumtaz

Farhan Mumtaz is Assistant Research Professor developing fiber-optic sensors for extreme environments at Missouri S&T. His work enables precise measurements in steelmaking and industrial processes.

Research includes femtosecond laser-inscribed sensors, high-temperature FBG arrays, and distributed sensing systems. Applications focus on industrial monitoring in electric arc furnaces and refractory linings.

Recent publications demonstrate polymer-based interferometers for thermal measurement and sapphire fiber sensors for molten steel applications. Innovations enable reliable sensing in conditions exceeding 1600°C.
