Dr. Sayyed Ali Hosseini

I received my PhD in Mechanical Engineering and completed a one year postdoc at Ontario Tech University. I started my independent research career as a tenure-track assistant professor at Ontario Tech in 2018 and became the university’s first alumnus to transition to a tenure-track faculty member with the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. I am currently one of the directors of the Machining Research Laboratory (MRL) with research focused on the combination of additive and subtractive manufacturing, both implementing and building upon my experience. As a principal investigator or co-applicant, I have been awarded several research grants including NSERC Discovery Grant, NSERC Research Tools and Instruments, NSERC Innovation Link Grant, Canada Foundation for Innovation John R. Evans Leaders Fund, and the Ontario Tech Student Success Innovation Fund. In 2021, I was interviewed on the science series Colossal Machines, a program produced by Toronto’s Go Button Media and Autentic Media of Munich, Germany. In Episode 6 (‘Mammoth Manufacturing’) I discuss the world’s largest 3D printer that prints a full vehicle and an enormous Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine that creates parts with ultra-precision. I have been actively engaged in voluntarily. outreach activities with PEO Lake Ontario Chapter and helped them organizing Mathletics, a competition designed to create a passion in the application of mathematics in solving day-to-day scientific and engineering problems for high school students.
