About Dr. Emile Homsi

Dr. Emile Homsi, BASF Performance Polymers Dr. Emile Homsi currently leads a ‘Commercial Technology team’ that is responsible for business development applications (design support, project management, and field engineering, etc…) spanning various industry segments (Industrial: Small Engines, Office Furniture, Small Engines, Power Equipment, Medical Equipment, Recreation Vehicles, Lawn and Power, Sports Equipment, Oil and Gas, and Automotive: Interior, Exterior, and Under-the-hood) for BASF Performance Polymers’ business unit.

His team, provides the link among technology, marketing and sales, and he has been credited for multiple successes across different platforms that resulted in increased revenue and profits. More recently, Dr. Homsi has embarked on an initiative to propel the division into the biomedical application arena. In parallel, through his affiliations with the University of Medicine and Dentistry in New Jersey’s (UMDNJ) leading scientists, he established a research initiative on theoretical modeling with the goal to integrate technology and medicine, and promote innovative discoveries via the use of mathematical predictive models that emulate parameters normally monitored in laboratory assays.

Fueled by his desire to provide academic counseling in Engineering, he has provided guidance to incoming Mechanical Engineering (ME) students at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), where he held an adjunct appointment, and teaching responsibilities in Machine Design and Thermodynamics. Dr. Homsi is also serving on the ME advisory board.

Periodically Dr. Homsi provides educational seminars to clients around the globe on specific topics in Plastics Engineering and advanced subjects such as in Noise, Vibration and Harshness, (NVH).

Dr. Homsi is multilingual and has a Doctorate in Mechanical Engineering; a Master’s in Technology Management; a Masters in Biomedical Sciences; a Masters and Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering; a certificate in International Contract Law and a certificate as a Webmaster.
