About
Dr. Ozan Özdemir is an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering of Northeastern University (NU), and he is an all-around expert with a decade of experience in Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing (CSAM) and a background in high velocity multiphase flows. He has heavily focused on the design and optimization of CSAM processes for material deposition efficiency, manufacturing rates, and product quality. Dr. Özdemir’s research is actively funded by the Department of Commerce, the Department of Energy, the Department of Defense, and Industrial Partners. His research has yielded numerous publications with over 400 citations in CSAM related topics and has co-edited and co-authored the textbook “Practical Cold Spray” (2021). Furthermore, he teaches Additive Manufacturing and advises Capstone Design students at Northeastern University. Dr. Özdemir is also an active member of the scientific and engineering community and serves as a member of the Training Committee of the ASM International Thermal Spray Society and the Secretary of ASM International Boston Chapter. Dr. Özdemir has been and is fortunate to work with a wonderful group of students.
