Ahmed Qureshi, PhD, PEng, serves as Professor and Engineering Research Chair in Advanced Manufacturing Processes and Automation in the Department of Mechanical Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Alberta. He earned his BSc in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore, in 2002, followed by an MS in Design Innovation and Industrial Production from Arts et Métiers ParisTech, France, in 2007, and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the same institution in 2011. Joining the University of Alberta in 2015 as an Assistant Professor, he advanced to his current full professorship, directing the Additive Design and Manufacturing Systems (ADaMS) Laboratory. His career encompasses leadership in transdisciplinary engineering design education, supported by a 2015-16 Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund grant, and contributions to initiatives like robotic systems for COVID-19 response and collaborations in paleontology using 3D scanning.
Qureshi's research centers on advanced design and manufacturing, additive manufacturing, robust design, and engineering design. Key projects include the design and development of robotic wire-based additive manufacturing processes, plasma transfer arc-based processes for oil sands operations, geometric deviation modeling of metal additive manufacturing, sub-voxel micro control for vat photopolymerization, ferromagnetic 3D printing processes, ferromagnetic polymer metal matrix resins, investment casting processes, and transdisciplinary engineering design processes. His scholarship, reflected in over 3,600 Google Scholar citations, features influential works such as 'Tolerancing: Managing uncertainty from conceptual design to final product' (CIRP Annals, 2018, cited 211 times) and 'Geometric tolerance and manufacturing assemblability estimation of metal additive manufacturing (AM) processes' (Materials & Design, 2020, cited 88 times). Funded by NSERC Discovery Grants and other sources, his efforts advance Industry 4.0 technologies, hybrid manufacturing, and sustainable production methods, impacting fields from energy storage to biomedical applications through lab innovations and industry partnerships.
