Lane Distinguished Professor and director of the Institute for Complex Engineered Systems at Carnegie Mellon University.

[2] Amon is a pioneer in the development of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for thermal design solutions in systems with multidisciplinary competing constraints.

[3] Amon leads the University of Toronto's Advanced Thermal/Fluids Optimization, Modelling, and Simulation (ATOMS) Laboratory where she conducts research in nanoscale thermal transport phenomena in semiconductors, energy systems and bioengineered devices.

[4] Amon's academic contributions include a number of highly cited book chapters and articles leading to an h-index of over 51.

[6] Her appointment as Dean of the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering at the University of Toronto began in 2006.

She was appointed as Alumni Chair Professor in BioEngineering in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the same time.

[9] Under Amon's leadership, female enrolment in the first-year cohort at U of T Engineering reached a record 40.1% in 2016.
