MSEC Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conferences

Dr. Ahmed Azab is a member of The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Manufacturing Engineering Division’s Manufacturing Systems Technical Committee. In this role, he has organized and chaired several symposia at ASME conferences. The most recent of these symposia was "A Symposium on Changeable, Transformable Manufacturing & Distributed Green Supply Chains in Pandemic Recovery Efforts," which was part of the 2021 ASME International Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference (MSEC). In addition, researchers from the POM Research Lab have presented at these conferences.
