Bio
Dr. Pervaiz received his Ph.D. in Production Engineering from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden in 2015. While pursuing his Ph.D., Dr. Pervaiz has worked on a Swedish Industry (Accu-Svenska AB) supported project for the development of an advanced minimum quantity cooling lubrication (MQCL) system to facilitate the sustainable and environment friendly machining of aeronautic titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V). His current research interests are in the general area of design and manufacturing, including different advanced topics such as sustainable manufacturing, metal cutting, energy efficient machining, machinability improvement of difficult-to-cut materials, development and optimization of custom made cutting tools and computer aided designing/ manufacturing etc.
Dr. Salman Pervaiz is an accomplished educator, researcher, and leader with over 15 years of experience in materials science, sustainable manufacturing, and additive manufacturing (3D printing). He was recognized among the world’s top 2% of scientists (Stanford University Rankings, 2024-2025), reflecting his significant scientific contributions, innovation, and global impact in advanced manufacturing.
Dr. Pervaiz is highly qualified in developing and optimizing sustainable solutions for the manufacturing sector, with deep expertise in high-performance aeronautical materials such as titanium alloys, nickel alloys, and composites. His achievements include receiving a Letter of Commendation from The Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers – Journal of Engineering Manufacture for his contributions to the field. He has been an invited speaker at prestigious platforms, including delivering a seminar on 3D Printing at Dubai Police GHQ Innovation Summer (2022) and a keynote at RTA’s Transport Research and Innovation Pavilion (2023).
As a prolific author, Dr. Pervaiz has published 130+ peer-reviewed research articles (80 journal papers and 54 conference proceedings) and delivered 35+ international conference presentations across the US, Europe, Singapore, and the UAE. He is also recognized for his ability to effectively communicate complex engineering concepts to diverse audiences, ranging from academic peers to business leaders.
Dr. Pervaiz has demonstrated strong leadership and collaboration skills within academia, industry, and professional societies. He is a founding member and current Chair of the ASME UAE Section, where he coordinated all student sections and lead the national ASME 3D Printing Competition. Internationally, Dr. Pervaiz serves as Chair/ Co-chair for the Advanced Manufacturing Track at ASME IMECE 2024, 2025 & 2026 and has organized multiple symposia on circular economy, sustainable production, and advanced machining processes since 2019.
Through his extensive research, leadership, and professional service, Dr. Pervaiz continues to advance the future of manufacturing innovation, education, and global industry collaboration.
