Dr Amir Hossein Nobari is a postdoctoral fellow in the Research & Development Department at AIM and in the Department of Mining and Materials Engineering at McGill University. In 2014, he graduated from the University of British Columbia, Canada with PhD degree. His research activities are in the field of alloy development, physical and mechanical properties of alloys, and failure analysis of electronic packaging. He also has extensive experience in the areas of heat transfer analysis and thermo-mechanical processes for the metallurgical industries.

Dr Mehran Maalekian is Research & Development manager of AIM. He received his PhD with distinction from Graz University of Technology, Austria in 2007. Through his long research career, working with well-known institutions such as the Technical University of Vienna, University of British Columbia, Cambridge University and many industry partners, he has published and presented numerous scientific and technical papers on physical metallurgy, materials modeling, welding and soldering, including a chapter of the ASM Int. Handbook. He has won a number of national and international awards, such as from the International Institute of Welding. He serves as a reviewer of several scientific journals and is on the editorial board of “Science and Technology of Welding and Joining”.

Karl Seelig is Vice President of Technology of AIM. In his over 30 years of industry experience, he has written and presented numerous technical papers on topics including lead-free electronics assembly, no-clean flux technology, assembly & process optimization, inspection and metallurgical studies. Mr Seelig serves as the Chairman of the IPC Solder Products Value Council and has been involved in the development of material specifications under IPC. He has also authored numerous patents in soldering technology, including four on lead-free solder alloys.

Dr Mihriban O. Pekguleryuz is head of the Light Metals Research Laboratory in the Department of Mining and Materials Engineering at McGill University. She has over 30 years of combined academic and industry experience in alloy development, which has directly resulted in commercially successful products with significant impact to reduce environmental pollution. She developed Noranda’s Mg engine alloy used in BMW automobiles and established a high profile for Canada in Mg materials research, taking an active role in numerous industrial international/national projects, light metals programs and committees. In academia, she held industrial research chairs, with Rio Tinto Alcan at UQAC and with General Motors of Canada at McGill.
