Biography

Seepersad has been a Woodruff School faculty member since 2023. She co-leads the TechMade Initiative, which is building an engineering design community on campus. The initiative spans the colleges of engineering, business, and design to give students hands-on exposure to the full sweep of product realization, from design to manufacturing, no matter their major.

Seepersad’s research and teaching focus on design for additive manufacturing, process innovation in additive manufacturing, and simulation-based and data-driven engineering design. She was the founding director of the Center for Additive Manufacturing and Design Innovation at the University of Texas at Austin prior to coming to Tech.

The former Rhodes Scholar received her Georgia Tech master’s and Ph.D. in mechanical engineering and was a Hertz Fellow and National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow.
