About

Negar Gilani is a rising figure in advanced manufacturing, whose work centers on molten metal jetting (MMJ)—an emerging additive manufacturing technique with transformative potential for electronics, healthcare, aerospace, and robotics. Her research addresses a critical challenge in MMJ: ensuring precise, repeatable droplet deposition to build fully functional, high-integrity components. In her most-cited work, “Tailored droplet deposition strategies for direct printing of fully functional components via molten metal jetting” (2025, 4 citations), Gilani proposes novel strategies to control droplet behavior during printing, directly tackling issues of material consistency and structural fidelity. This contribution is foundational for scaling MMJ from lab-scale experiments to industrial applications, where reliability is paramount. Though early in her career, her work has already garnered attention for its practical relevance and technical depth, positioning her as a key voice in the next wave of metal additive manufacturing. Gilani’s research not only advances the science of droplet dynamics but also paves the way for on-demand, waste-free production of complex metal parts—a vision that could reshape how industries approach prototyping and low-volume manufacturing.
