Dr. Salah Uddin’s research centers on advanced materials, materials characterization, and modern manufacturing techniques, with a strong emphasis on 3D Printing (Additive Manufacturing) and Artifical Intelligence (AI/ ML). He combines expertise in materials design and mechanical performance to develop high-quality, defect-free materials using machine learning (ML) and experimental methods. His work promotes accessible, office-friendly 3D Printing technology, allowing students to engage in hands-on research, and supports the advancement of Industry 4.0 manufacturing practices.
Dr. Uddin earned his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Montana Technological University, USA, as part of a collaborative program of the Montana Materials Science Program at Montana State University, the University of Montana, and Montana Technological University. His doctoral work was fully funded by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (Aberdeen Proving Ground - DEVCOM), focusing on high strain rate mechanical behavior in additively manufactured materials. He also received support from the National Science Foundation for research in atomic and molecular physics.
Following his Ph.D., he completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Southern Methodist University, Texas, funded by the Welch Foundation, where he developed techniques in Single Molecule Localization Lithography. At Miami University, he utilized gamma-ray spectroscopy to investigate material defects. He also applied advanced theoretical tools such as fractal analysis and time-resolved infrared thermography during his master's degree in materials science and engineering.
Dr. Uddin also brings industry experience, having worked as a materials engineer in ISO and A2LA-certified laboratories and manufacturing environments, analyzing both ferrous and non-ferrous materials using diverse testing and processing techniques. He spent a brief period in the casting industry in Dayton, Ohio. He then worked as a metallurgist at Ford and GM Manufacturing Suppliers in Michigan.
As an educator, Dr. Uddin is trained in evidence-based teaching and classroom management and has taught physics and engineering at Miami University and Montana Technological University. At North South University, he is teaching physics courses for a diverse group of students, mostly for engineering students, and he is committed to advancing intelligent and sustainable materials for engineering applications.
Dr. Uddin welcomes inquiries from motivated students interested in joining his research group.

Additive Manufacturing (AM), widely known as 3D printing, has seen substantial advancements over the past decade, evolving from a prototyping tool into a viable method for end-use production. Recent progress emphasizes the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into AM systems to enhance automation, precision, process control, and data-driven decision-making. This study examines the convergence of AI and 3D printing technologies to create intelligent, self-optimizing manufacturing platforms.
The incorporation of AI, particularly machine learning (ML), computer vision, and deep learning, enables real-time process monitoring, early defect detection, adaptive parameter control, and predictive maintenance. By leveraging multimodal sensor data (such as temperature, pressure, and optical imagery), AI models can identify fabrication anomalies during the layer-by-layer build process, thereby reducing material waste and minimizing post-processing needs.
Key research areas include:
The overarching goal of this research is to establish autonomous, adaptive 3D printing systems capable of learning from data, adjusting to changing conditions, and delivering enhanced efficiency, scalability, and reliability across sectors such as aerospace, healthcare, and automotive manufacturing.
Dr. Uddin encourages motivated and research-oriented students to explore opportunities within his research group.

This research focuses on the dynamic and rapidly advancing domain of 3D printing with polymeric materials, emphasizing the development of innovative materials, refinement of printing methodologies, and exploration of applications across diverse industrial sectors. Polymeric materials are particularly well-suited for additive manufacturing due to their inherent versatility, low density, cost-efficiency, and tunable mechanical properties.
Our investigations encompass a broad spectrum of polymer types, including thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers, and biodegradable composites. The objective is to enhance their processability, structural integrity, and functional performance within additive manufacturing systems. The research integrates both material innovation and process optimization to further the technological capabilities of polymer-based 3D printing.
Primary areas of focus include:
Through this research, we seek to expand the frontiers of polymer additive manufacturing, enabling more intelligent design solutions, sustainable material usage, and efficient production techniques for future innovations.
Prospective students with a strong interest in research are encouraged to reach out to Dr. Uddin regarding opportunities within his group.
