MONDAY MORNING PLENARY EVENTS (JULY 25)

The theme of the Monday morning plenary session is "Emerging Women Leaders in AM". Chaired by Professor Carolyn Seepersad at The University of Texas at Austin, six presentations will be made by outstanding women researchers early in their careers.  Following will be the two traditional technical presentations by the FAME Award winners. You are encouraged to grab a quick lunch at the close of the session at 12:10 PM, and then to return at 12:45 PM for a panel discussion dealing with issues related to becoming and being an emerging woman leader in AM. The panel will consist of the plenary session emerging women leaders. The panel moderators are Professor Seepersad and Dr. Cindy Waters from the NSWCCD-Carderock Division. The room location is Salon G in the sixth floor of the Hilton Hotel, and the session will end in time for attendees to move to the afternoon parallel sessions at 1:30 PM.

Sneha Narra

​

Narra received a master of science in computational mechanics, and a master of science and doctorate in mechanical engineering from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). After receiving her doctorate, she worked as a postdoctoral research associate at the Next Manufacturing Center at CMU. She then served as an assistant professor in the materials and manufacturing program at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, before joining CMU as an assistant professor in Fall of 2021. Dr. Narra’s additive manufacturing process design research lies at the intersection of process modeling including numerical, analytical, and semi-analytical methods, processing experiments, materials characterization, and data-driven analysis.   

 

Maryna Lenina

Maryna is an AM Academy - Product and Partnership Manager. She joined EOS in the summer of 2016 as an Applications Engineer for metal AM, then transitioned to digitalization topics, and currently supports the development and delivery of training content. She believes that education plays a key role in implementing emerging technologies, including industrial 3D Printing, and successfully transforming organizations.

 

Maryna earned her master's degree in mechanical engineering from Texas A&M University, Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), and the National Technical University of Ukraine Polytechnic Institute. At KIST she did research about the flexible floating ring seal that is used to reduce air leakage and increase compressor efficiency. 

 

Now together with EOS Additive Minds, she shares her expertise in facilitating innovation with industrial 3D Printing. Maryna works on the development and delivery of Additive Manufacturing programs and products for professional development.

Chelsea Cummings

Chelsea is an AM consultant from The Barnes Global Advisers, contributing to a variety of projects mainly supporting design for the process and advising customers on digital tools available to support their AM strategy. She began her engineering career at Honeywell Aerospace, gaining experience in various roles, including AM. Her AM experience focused on developing metal parts built on powder bed machines for aerospace applications. Her experience qualifying production parts for AM with the FAA at Honeywell led her to a role in new product engineering at Arconic (formerly Alcoa) where she successfully qualified additively manufactured parts for aerospace production for a major aircraft manufacturer. Her work with various manufacturers for flight and space has honed her AM design skills for diverse applications. Lean certified by her alma mater, Arizona State University, and Honeywell, she cultivates streamlined AM designs, production, and applications.
