Professor Yavari joined the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology in January 2005. He received his B.S. in Civil Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran in 1997. He continued his studies at The George Washington University where he obtained an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering in 2000. He then moved to Pasadena, CA and obtained his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering (Applied Mechanics option with minor in Mathematics) from the California Institute of Technology in 2005.

Muhanna is an associate professor in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. He obtained his B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Damascus in 1972, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in the area of Solid and Structural Mechanics in 1976 and 1979, respectively from the Higher Institute for Structure and Architecture, Sofia, Bulgaria. He joined the faculty at the University of Damascus, Syria in 1980, and has also served on the faculty at Case Western Reserve University, Ohio and the University of Maryland (1991-2000).

Sholl’s research focuses on materials whose macroscopic dynamic and thermodynamic properties are strongly influenced by their atomic-scale structure. Much of this research involves applying computational techniques such as molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo simulations and quantum chemistry methods to materials of interest. Although the group's work is centered on computational methods, it involves extensive collaboration with experimental groups and industrial partners.

Streator’s research is concerned with the interactions between contacting surfaces, with particular emphasis on the roles played by surface roughness and by intervening liquid films. Much of this research is motivated by problems of adhesion or “stiction” that is prevalent in small-scale devices such as microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and in the head-disk interface of computer disk drives. As device form factors continue to shrink the role of surface forces, such as liquid surface tension become increasingly dominant as compared to inertial forces.

Julian J. Rimoli is an associate professor of aerospace engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Rimoli obtained his engineering diploma in aeronautics from Universidad Nacional de La Plata in 2001. He moved to the United States in 2004 and pursued graduate studies at Caltech, receiving his M.Sc. in aeronautics in 2005 and his Ph.D. in aeronautics in 2009. He then accepted a postdoctoral associate position at the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT in Cambridge, MA, where he conducted research and supervised graduate students for more than a year and a half.

Uzi Landman is an Israeli/American computational physicist, the Fuller E. Callaway Professor of Computational Materials Science at the Georgia Institute of Technology. 

He earned a B.Sc. in chemistry at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem in 1965, an M.Sc. in chemistry from the Weizmann Institute in 1966 and a D.Sc. from the Israel Institute of Technology in 1969. His research interests included surface and materials science, solid state physics and nanoscience. 

Professor Goldsztein is originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina. In 1992 he received his undergraduate degree in mathematics from the University of Buenos Aires and in 1997 a Ph.D. in mathematics from MIT. During the three following years (1997-2000), he was a postdoctoral scholar and lecturer in applied mathematics at CalTech. Since 2000, he has been a faculty member of the School of Mathematics of Georgia Tech, where he is now a full professor.

Leonid Abramowich Bunimovich (born August 1, 1947) is a Soviet and American mathematician, who made fundamental contributions to the theory of dynamical systems, statistical physics, and various applications.

 Bunimovich received his bachelor's degree in 1967, master's degree in 1969, and Ph.D. in 1973 from the University of Moscow. His masters and Ph.D. thesis advisor was Yakov G. Sinai. 

Bunimovich is a Regents' Professor of mathematics at the Georgia Institute of Technology, a Fellow of the Institute of Physics, and was awarded Humboldt Prize in Physics.

Research in the Sherrill group focuses on the development of ab initio electronic structure theory and its application to problems of broad chemical interest, including the influence of non-covalent interactions in drug binding, biomolecular structure, organic crystals, and organocatalytic transition states. We seek to apply the most accurate quantum models possible for a given problem, and we specialize in generating high-quality datasets for testing new methods or machine-learning purposes. We have developed highly efficient algorithms and software to perform symmetry-adapted pe

Colton's research interests are in the areas of design and manufacturing, focusing on polymers and polymer composites. Processing techniques, such as micro-molding, injection molding, filament winding, resin transfer molding and the like, are studied and used to fabricate these devices and products, such as smart composite structures.
