Hani Henein is a Professor in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at the University of Alberta's Faculty of Engineering. He obtained his MEng from McGill University (1975) and PhD from UBC (1981), later joining Carnegie-Mellon University before moving to the University of Alberta in 1989. His research integrates ICME, machine learning, and physical modeling to study additive manufacturing, rapid solidification, pipeline steels, and thermophysical properties. Research Focus: Dr. Henein leads projects on ultrasonic atomization, Al-Ce/Al-Sc alloy solidification, hybrid investment casting, and in-situ composite formation for wear-resistant applications. His work emphasizes microstructure control in high-temperature processes and industrial collaborations with Syncrude, EVRAZ, and space agencies (ESA/DLR). Awards & Leadership: Killam Research Fellowship and 5 best paper awards Fellow of 5 major societies (CIM, ASM, CAE, TMS, IOM3) 2019 President of AIME and 2014 President of TMS Education Initiatives: Founded international work-abroad programs (80+ students placed since 2002) and a Dual Degree Program with Université de Lorraine. Currently advises 6 PhD and 7 MSc students on projects spanning rapid solidification, pipeline welding, and lattice composites.
