Green’s research has been conducted under industrial and government sponsorship. His work broadly supports the field of design, rotordynamics, and tribology. The calculation of stiffness of bolted joints has become standard in classical design textbooks*. In 2006 he received the ASME highest honor, the Machine Design Award. His work on the dynamic behavior of mechanical seals operating in liquid or gas (again award winning) has been implemented into various computer codes which have been acquired by seals manufacturers, users, and research labs. For two decades he taught two continuing education courses: (1) The “Mechanical Engineering Professional Engineering Refresher,” and (2) with colleagues from BHRG, he taught and administered the course “Fluid Sealing Technology.” He served on numerous editorial boards, served on the STLE Board of Directors, and chaired two terms the Executive Committee of the ASME, Tribology Division.

Hanagud joined the faculty of the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1970. Prior to his Georgia Tech appointment, he worked at the Stanford Research Institute (now SRI International) as a research scientist from 1963 to 1970. In 1967, he, along with other Stanford professors and a colleague, founded the company Failure Analysis Associates now located in Menlo Park, California. The company helped form two acoustic emission technology firms. His research fields include structures, materials, structural dynamics, aeroelasticity and areas of design associated with these fields. Currently he is working in the areas of smart structures based vibration control, biomechanics, induced strain actuators, health monitoring of structures, active aeroelastic control and beneficial modifications of the musical instruments to improve their structural dynamic and acoustic response. Hanagud has published more than 170 technical papers, has advised and directed Ph.D. thesis of 25 graduate students and has advised 38 M.S. degree students. He has given numerous seminars/lectures at various universities, industries and different professional conferences around the world. Recently, his research work on the 'development of a smart acoustic guitar' was cited in many newspapers and news magazines around the world including a feature article in the Wall Street Journal and in a publication of the New York Academy of Sciences.

Professor Zangwill earned a B.S. in Physics at Carnegie-Mellon University in 1976. His 1981 Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Pennsylvania introduced the time-dependent density functional method. 

He worked at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn from 1981-1985 before taking up his present position at the Georgia Institute of Technology. 

He was named a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1997 for theoretical studies of epitaxial crystal growth. 

He is the author of the monograph Physics at Surfaces (1988) and the graduate textbook Modern Electrodynamics (2013). In 2013, he began publishing scholarly work on the history of condensed matter physics.

Angus Wilkinson is a professor in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry and holds a joint appointment with the School of Materials Science and Engineering. Wilkinson obtained his bachelors degree in chemistry from Oxford University in 1988. He was a graduate student with A. K. Cheetham in the Department of Chemical Crystallography /Inorganic Chemistry at Oxford from 1988 until December 1991. His graduate work focused on the application of synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction to problems in solid-state chemistry. 

For the last two years of his graduate studies he held a senior Scholarship from Christ Church, Oxford. From October 1991 until June 1993, Wilkinson was a Junior Research Fellow with Christ Church, Oxford. However, most of this period was spent on leave at the Materials Research Laboratory, University of California Santa Barbara. His work in Santa Barbara focused on the processing and structure of oxide ferroelectric materials. In October 1993 he joined the faculty at the Georgia Institute of Technology as an assistant professor. He received tenure in 1999 and was promoted to full professor in 2004. He is currently Associate Chair for operations in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry. 

His work at Georgia Tech has been wide ranging. Current projects include the synthesis and characterization of negative thermal expansion ceramics, in-situ studies of cement hydration under oil well conditions (high pressure and temperature) using x-ray and ultrasonic techniques, and the development of reversible carbon dioxide adsorbents. Previous work at Georgia Tech has included an exploration of chiral templates for the synthesis of chiral microporous materials, the low temperature synthesis of ferroelectrics, an exploration of low oxidation state gallium and indium oxide chemistry with a view to finding new ferroelectric and nonlinear optical materials, the development of resonant x-ray scattering methods for use on thermoelectric energy conversion materials, and an examination of cement durability under sulfate attack conditions using high energy x-ray scattering combined with microtomography.

Dr. Gelbaum manages the campus NMR service center and provides user training and support for solution NMR experiments.

The research interests of Zhang and his group focus on understanding the fundamental relationships between the chemical composition/crystal structure and the properties of novel materials. A multidisciplinary approach including inorganic/physical chemistry and solid-state physics is employed to pursue the synthesis and physical property studies of nanostructured materials. The applications of these materials in advanced technologies and in biomedical science are also actively explored.

Cheryl Gaimon holds the Esther and Edward Brown Chair and specializes in the area of operations management (OM). She initiated establishment of the OM Program and served as first the OM Area Coordinator for seven years. She was a core participant in the development of the interdisciplinary Management of Technology (MoT) Certificate Program and currently serves as that program's director. She has taught courses at the undergraduate, masters, and PhD levels as well as in executive programs.

Professor Gaimon's teaching and research considers how a firm manages its knowledge-based resource capabilities (which include (i) people, (ii) manufacturing and service technologies, (iii) processes and procedures, (iv) materials, and (v) information) in environments characterized by innovations in science and technology, global competition, and a dynamic marketplace. In particular, her research and teaching addresses new product and process development, implementation of new technology, and sustainable operations. Due to the complexity and time pressure of developing innovations that are successful in the marketplace, Professor Gaimon also addresses knowledge outsourcing and alliances/partnerhips. She teaches courses in innovation and management of technology. Her research has appeared in journals including Management Science, Operations Research, Organization Science, and Production and Operations Management.

Professor Gaimon received the Brady Family Award for Faculty Research Excellence from the Scheller College in 2014. Additionally, she has been actively involved in the Production and Operations Management Society (POMS). Professor Gaimon received the Sushil K. Gupta POMS Distinguished Service Award in 2014, became a POMS fellow in 2009, served as the POMS President in 2008-2009, and was the founding co-President of the POMS College on Product Innovation and Technology Management. Professor Gaimon received the Distinguished Service Award for the Technology Management Section (TMS) of INFORMS in 2009 and was their Distinguished Speaker in 2007. The Board of Regents of the State of Georgia made Professor Gaimon a Regents' Professor in 2005. She is the recipient of "The 1999 Georgia Tech Research Award" for doctoral student development.

Professor Gaimon is the Management of Technology Department Editor for Production and Operations Management.
