Prof. Soshu Kirihara is a doctor of engineering and a professor of Joining and Welding Research Institute (JWRI), Osaka University, Japan. In his main investigation “Materials Tectonics” for environmental improvements of “Geotechnology”, multi-dimensional structures were successfully fabricated to modulate energy and materials flows effectively. Ceramic and metal components were fabricated directly by smart additive manufacturing, design and evaluation (Smart MADE) using high power ultraviolet laser lithography. Original stereolithography systems were developed, and new start-up company “SK-Fine” was established through academic-industrial collaboration.

Dr. Sima Valizadeh is working as a CTO at Sandbacka Science Park in Sweden. Her focus is to develop the strategic technologies through fossil-free transportation, Sustainable Energy System, Digital transition of small and medium-sized enterprises and support them to explore the potential benefits and challenges of AM adoption across products process development. In addition, she supports the team with day-to-day management operation and deployment of effective inclusive innovation mechanism. Sima holds a PhD in Thin Film Physics and has over 33 years leadership experience in multi-Site manufacturing, developing solutions in Advanced Manufacturing for several engineering organizations & industries. To increase the visibility of women and diversity inclusion in the additive manufacturing industry she is acting in Women in 3D printing as an ambassador in Sweden.
