Experience 1980-1984 Instructor at International Programs Office of Stevens Institute of Technology 1984-1987 Assistant Professor of Engineering Stevens Institute of Technology 1987-1990 Associate Professor of Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology 1989- Director of Highly Filled Materials Institute 1990-1999 Professor of Engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology 1999- Institute Professor at Stevens Institute of Technology

Professor Kalyon’s research focuses on precision structuring and processing/shaping of complex fluids including polymers, polymeric suspensions and nanosuspensions and gels. The tools developed at Stevens for this purpose include new methods of rheological characterization, structural analysis and mathematical modeling in conjunction with novel sets of rheometers and continuous processing hardware. Interesting new capabilities include the development of three new tissue engineering scaffold fabrication methods, the generation of nanocomposites of engineering plastics incorporated with nanofibers and nanotubes, use of supercritical fluid technology to generate extruded foams from engineering plastics and new methods for the analysis and elimination of flow instabilities of complex fluids.
