Biographical Information

Shehryar is an NSERC Scholar and senior PhD Candidate working as a mechanical engineer and a materials scientist in the field of advanced materials processing, specifically related to welding, joining, and cladding applications. His research focus is on the advanced processing of different types of pure metals and metallic alloys, and his research expertise is in advanced materials characterization, advanced mechanical testing and failure analysis, with a strong foundation in materials processing (i.e., coating techniques, heat treatment, laser welding, laser cladding, arc and laser brazing, and laser-arc hybrid brazing). He completed his Honors BASc in Mechanical Engineering (Welding and Joining Specialization) with a Minor in Economics with Distinction at the University of Waterloo. He started his graduate program at CAMJ as a MASc student but was transferred directly to a Ph.D. in 2019.

During his time as a graduate student, Shehryar has published several peer-reviewed journal papers, has an international patent to his name, and has given numerous technical presentations at the institutional, national and international levels. Shehryar holds the prestigious NSERC Postgraduate Scholarship and has won many awards and scholarships including the Nanofellowship Award, the Paul Niessen-Teck Award, and several Engineer of the Future Awards.
