3D Printing for Biomedical Engineering

Prof. Dr. Md Enamul Hoque is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, at the University of Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. Prior to joining the University of Tabuk, he held several senior academic and leadership positions at internationally reputed institutions. These include Senior Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST), Bangladesh; Head of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at King Faisal University (KFU), Saudi Arabia; and Founding Head of the Bioengineering Division at the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus (UNMC). Professor Hoque obtained his PhD in 2007 from the National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore. He also earned a Postgraduate Certificate in Higher Education (PGCHE) from the University of Nottingham, United Kingdom, in 2015. He is a Chartered Engineer (CEng) registered with the Engineering Council, UK; a Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (FIMechE), UK; a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA), UK; and a Member of the World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology. He has been ranked among the top 2% of scientists worldwide, based on standardized citation metrics.Dr. R. Kumar is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Eritrea Institute of Technology. His research interests include manufacturing, friction drilling, welding, and machining of aluminum, polymer composites and metal matrix composites. Ian Gibson is a professor in Industrial Design Engineering and Scientific Director of the University's Fraunhofer Project Centre in complex systems engineering at the University of Twente. His first teaching position was at Nottingham University in 1992, where he was introduced to Rapid Prototyping, which is now more commonly known as 3D Printing (3DP) or Additive Manufacturing (AM). Ian has spent the last 25+ years working with this extremely enabling technology to solve problems in healthcare, automotive, aerospace, and other industrial sectors by engaging in applied research. In 2017, Ian was awarded the Freeform and Additive Manufacturing Excellence (FAME) award in the US for his contribution to the academic AM community, something that only 9 other people have so far received.
