Revered for its insightful and interesting business news, online news portal CIOLook is privileged to introduce Ramona Fayazfar, Professor and Director, ECAM (Eco-Friendly Circular Advanced Materials and Additive Manufacturing) Laboratory, who has made a name for herself by inspiring groups to creative innovation and propelling them towards achievement. Her approach is powered by a combination of curiosity, teamwork and a dedication towards maximizing sustainability in every facet of her profession. Her leadership is defined by encouraging other people, promotion of innovation and speed in the business. Ramona’s interest to research new materials from nature and implement their properties to solve challenges of sustainability and efficiency in resources made her desire to enter into this niche.
Before joining the Ontario Tech University faculty, Ramona Fayazfar worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Multiscale Additive Manufacturing Research Institute at the University of Waterloo, Canada’s foremost metal additive manufacturing research center and one of the globe’s most advanced laboratories of its kind. It gave her a chance to grow as a researcher and further cemented her interest in additive manufacturing development. Ramona Fayazfar combined her materials science education and the latest additive manufacturing trends to bridge the two promising fields.
Her enthusiasm led her to Ontario Tech University, where she now instructs, dedicated to further enhancing the potential of materials science and additive manufacturing as a hybrid. Ramona Fayazfar, director of the Eco-friendly Circular Advanced Materials and Additive Manufacturing (ECAM) lab, is driven to investigate the prospects of clean materials and clean manufacturing in driving a cleaner, healthier world and addressing urgent energy requirements in industries from the built environment to life-saving healthcare innovations. She leads and inspires a group of committed researchers, engineers, and entrepreneurs working towards a common goal—to imagine a world where waste is the foundation for a successful and sustainable world. Ramona Fayazfar explains that her team is doing more than producing materials: “We are not only creating materials—we are redefining the very concept of materials in a circular economy.”
Ramona’s goal at ECAM is to create new circular and sustainable materials, and circular manufacturing methods, exactly in order to address the very significant supply chain disruptions and resulting environmental challenges the world currently faces.
