معرفی
Kazem Fayazbakhsh serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Toronto Metropolitan University, where he leads research in additive manufacturing, composite materials, and 3D printing technologies with applications spanning aerospace, biomedical, and fashion industries. His work addresses critical quality control challenges in manufacturing through innovative layer-by-layer analysis of 3D printed components.
Dr. Fayazbakhsh's academic foundation includes:
- PhD from McGill University (2013)
- MSc from Sharif University of Technology (2009)
- BSc from Sharif University of Technology (2007)
His research program centers on composite materials mechanics and finite element analysis, developing cost-efficient structural solutions through systematic 3D printing methodologies. A key innovation involves slicing printed aerospace parts to test individual layer strength, enhancing manufacturing consistency and air travel safety. He actively cultivates cross-disciplinary partnerships to expand applications toward bone replacements and body armor within the next decade.
Analysis of his publication record (2009-2014) reveals consistent expertise in variable stiffness laminates, defect analysis in automated fiber placement, and statistical materials selection methodologies, demonstrating strong integration of theoretical modeling with practical aerospace manufacturing solutions.
Professional engagement includes active membership in the Canadian Association for Composite Structures and Materials (CACSMA), Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering (SAMPE), and ASTM International's Committee F42 on Additive Manufacturing Technologies.
As an educator, Dr. Fayazbakhsh teaches core courses including Mechanisms and Vibrations (AER 403), Composite Materials (AER 827), and Testing and Evaluation of Composites (AE8147), emphasizing real-world problem anticipation based on his industry experience at Stelia Aerospace North America (2014-2017).
He directs the Facility for Research on Aerospace Materials and Engineered Structures (FRAMES) laboratory, which serves as an interdisciplinary innovation hub connecting aerospace engineering with medical and fashion technology through advanced manufacturing research.
