Dr. Soeren Wiener is the Director of Technology and Advanced Operations at Honeywell Aerospace, where he oversees the development and deployment of game-changing manufacturing technologies into the global supply chain. Dr. Wiener earned a Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Technical University (TH) in Karlsruhe, Germany with an emphasis on production technology and computer aided design. After joining AlliedSignal (later Honeywell) he earned his Doctorate in Mechanical Engineering from the Technical University in Dresden, Germany as an external candidate with an emphasis on closed-loop systems for design, manufacturing, and inspection of highly stressed aerospace components. Prior to his current role with Honeywell, Dr. Wiener was Director of Quality in Mechanical Repair and Overhaul. Additionally, he led manufacturing engineering, customer quality and turbine engine overhaul organizations. He began his career as a design engineer specializing in gear and coupling designs. Dr. Wiener is currently focused on achieving full-scale production of FAA-certified engine hardware using metal 3D printing and other novel manufacturing processes.

Dr. Francisco Medina PhD, is the Technology Leader for additive manufacturing at EWI. Previously, he was a senior specialist in materials development at Arcam where he managed Arcam’s relationships and R&D activities in North America. Medina received a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering in 2000, a master’s degree in 2005 and a doctorate in materials science in 2013, all from the University of Texas at El Paso. He has been involved in additive manufacturing since 2000, focusing his attention in the metals additive manufacturing methods area for rapid material development and low-cost powder manufacturing. Medina’s work in the additive manufacturing industry has been published in numerous journals and conference proceedings. He has been recognized with several awards, including first place in EBM’s Users Group Meeting Part Completion for Best Creative Part, Outstanding Paper by Emerald Group Publishing, the 2007 Emerald Literati Network Award for Excellence and the 2004 RTAM/SME Dick Aubin Distinguished Paper Award. He holds nine additive manufacturing patents, with several other patents pending. Medina is the former chair of the Additive Manufacturing Community. Professional Affiliations SME, MRS, ASTM International and TMS.
