From page 177...
... She is a licensed professional engineer and has been active with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, the Army Research Office, and the Oak Ridge Center for Manufacturing Technology on various committees and assignments. Her career at Georgia Tech included research sponsored by the Department of Defense to determine the effect of microstructure on mechanical properties of heterogeneous composites and the advanced processing of high-performance materials.
From page 178...
... Dr. Logan also received many outstanding awards throughout her career, including fellowship in ACerS and the NICE, as well as membership in the World Academy of Ceramics.
From page 179...
... Jacobs was at Sandia National Laboratories, where she addressed issues of domestic and international security involving weapons of mass destruction. Her team developed methods to evaluate and quantify vulnerability, risk, and terrorist behavior related to illicit movement of nuclear materials.
From page 180...
... He helped establish the Material Handling Research Center in 1982 and managed one of five research programs over the next decade. He also helped establish the Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems (CIMS)
From page 181...
... Dr. McGinnis enjoys teaching students how to think like industrial engineers, particularly in developing and using mathematical and computational models to support design of facilities and control systems.
From page 182...
... Dr. Sardela was also nominated by the vice chancellor of research to be a member of the University of Illinois Radiation Safety Committee, which is the most prominent entity at the university in charge of overseeing safety procedures and regulations in the entire campus involving X rays, lasers, and radiological materials.
From page 183...
... Dr. Shur is editor-in-chief of the International Journal of High Speed Electronics and System and related book series, regional editor of Physica Status Solidi, member of the Honorary Board of Solid State Electronics and the Journal of Semiconductor Technology and Science International Advisory Committee, vice president for publications of the IEEE Sensor Council, distinguished lecturer of the IEEE Electron Devices Society, former distinguished lecturer of IEEE MTT, and and former associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices.
From page 184...
... From this effort, he became instrumental in the development of a pilot Affordable Avionics Roadmap for the C-17, which became the template for the Air Force's Viable Combat Avionics Initiative, as well as the multi-contractor team that developed and successfully qualified the advanced composite structure of the B-2 Bomber -- a benchmark program for large-scale and complex composite structural design, test, production, and quality-assurance technologies. He has served as men tor to many Aeronautical Systems Center ASC and Air Force Materiel Command AFMC engineers who now occupy senior leadership positions.
From page 185...
... His technical specialties include electromagnetic scattering and material property measurements, radar, antenna, and radar cross section measurements, radar performance evaluation, radio frequency/electro-optical sensing technologies, and passive/active electronic warfare. JEFF BERRIE co-founded BerrieHill Research Corporation in 2005 and is currently its chief technology officer.
