Tennessee Technological University

Dean (2019-present), Professor (2019-present)

Leads a college of approximately 3,300 students and 90 faculty, with an annual non-research operating budget of roughly $26M, $2.5M in research center funding, and approximately $14M/year in additional external research expenditures—the latter having quadrupled over the past 5 years.

Created 3 new scholarships:
- Aspiring Engineering, Computing, & Technology Scholarship for students who transform into superstars after enrolling.
- Engineering, Computing, & Technology Assistance Grant providing emergency support to students who face dramatic life challenges impacting their ability to attend.
- College of Engineering Nonresidential Merit-Based Scholarship supporting out-of-state students who are high-achievers yet not eligible for some merit-scholarships that require Tennessee residency.
Supported the raising (with a wide-variety of level of contribution from one donor to another) of over $8M towards the Ashraf Islam Engineering Building (including the largest ever cash donation to the university) by creating a strong vision for the building and building strong relationships with donors. After the building was awarded, rebuilt its vision from a collection of unit-owned spaces into a college-wide hub—with labs shared across departments and governed by cross-disciplinary faculty committees—designed to drive student belonging, recruitment, and a sense of home on campus; carried lead design responsibility for the building through that transformation, working with a team of three faculty who developed the building’s programming from that vision.
Created the overall vision for and led the funding proposal for the Advanced Construction and Manufacturing Engineering Building (ACME), with three program areas developed by other individuals, delegating lead design responsibility to trusted colleagues while retaining overall project oversight.
Invigorated curricular innovation resulting in multiple new minors and concentrations, with three being across multiple colleges.
Oversaw the accreditation renewal efforts for seven undergraduate programs in 2020/2021.
Oversaw the first accreditation of the joint General Engineering BS program with East Tennessee State University (ETSU) in 2022.
Oversaw creation of the Nuclear Engineering BS program.
Managed a 3% budget cut in 2020 without resorting to terminations while actually growing faculty in multiple departments.
Oversaw the hiring of 113 individuals into faculty or staff positions in the college including:
- 56 faculty and 57 staff
- Marketing and Communications director
- Associate Dean for Academic Affairs
- Associate Dean for Research
- Chair of Chemical Engineering
- Chair of Manufacturing Engineering Technology
- Chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering
- Supported hire of Director and Associate Director of General Engineering program
- Director of MS in Engineering Management
- Supported the recruitment of multiple highly successful senior faculty
Actively engaged multiple employers through advisory board and other direct relationships
Expanded the college’s K-12 and community outreach portfolio, adding a VEX Robotics high school competition, an annual Manufacturing Day, and hosting the state Quiz Bowl championship.
Centralized college laboratory technicians—previously siloed one-per-department with uneven, mismatched skills—into a shared pool that moves between labs based on skill and central coordination while each retains primary responsibility for one lab, improving time-to-completion, work quality, lab appearance, and lab safety.
Introduced normed quantitative performance metrics for use in assessing college, department, and individual performance for use in synergy with qualitative assessments.
Supported numerous efforts directly tied to the university’s “Rural Reimagined” grand challenge and numerous efforts in support of the university’s vision and mission.
Through the Budget Advisory Committee and other efforts, helped create strategies and practices that will ensure efforts align with university strategic goals and needs.
Oversaw the first substantial increases in external expenditures in over eight years through successfully encouraging faculty to reengage with funded research. Expenditures on competitive grants and contracts rose 290% over 6 years (from $3.5M to $13.8M).
Redesigned academic advising from an ad hoc mix of faculty and staff advising into a centralized model of dedicated staff advisors paired with faculty mentoring, supporting growth in incoming freshman enrollment by 30% over 6 years, an increase in retention from approximately 70% to over 80%, a marked reduction in erroneous advising, and higher faculty productivity in teaching and research.
Restructured college diversity efforts away from a single, siloed DEI officer position toward shared, distributed ownership—giving minority student organizations (SWE, SHPE, NSBE, and oSTEM) direct access to the dean and embedding diversity responsibility across the advising staff—growing the share of students identifying as women from 14.5% to 16%, as Black from 3.5% to 4.1%, and as students of color overall from 11.2% to 15.4%, each outpacing regional trends.
Supported the college becoming a National Academy of Engineers Grand Challenge College.
Created a co-director position within the college’s Student Success Center focused on holistic student support, and established a donor-funded student emergency fund, with a companion college food pantry established on the initiative of the college’s Student Success Center team and development officer—together providing a discreet, single point of contact for students in crisis and preventing numerous cases of housing loss, food insecurity, or withdrawal from the university.
Enacted the first data dissemination college-wide including:
1.

Enrollment numbers and trends
2.

External expenditure numbers and trends
3.

Initiation of the Competitive Edge report highlighting CoE achievements in research, scholarship, and service.
4.

Improved college funding decision-making through direct dissemination of amounts of Special Academic Fee (SAF, effectively differential tuition) funding and justifications to executive committee to be shared with faculty.
5.

Decentralized graduate student funding by directly transferring funding to departments collocating responsibility and authority

Wright State University

Chair (2016–2019), Professor (2008–2019), Associate Professor (1999–2008), Assistant Professor (1993–1999) – Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering

Served as coauthor with shared design responsibility for the $37M, 90,000-square-foot Neuroscience Engineering Collaboration Building (completed 2015)—a four-story facility pairing neuroscience and engineering wings around a central atrium to foster translational research between engineering faculty, the Wright State Research Institute, and the Air Force Research Laboratory.
Director (and founder) of MS in Aerospace Systems Engineering (2013–2019)
Directed $1.5M in research programs in the areas of modeling, control, and system identification of mechanical, aerodynamic, thermal, and electrical systems. Resulted in almost 70 technical articles and one book chapter.
Wrote proposal and led development (Functional PI) of Ohio Mean’s Interns and Co-ops I program resulting in $1.3M in state funding. Led team to obtain employer commitment letters for over $3.1M for internships in under one week.
Led development of proposal for Ohio Mean’s Interns and Co-ops II program resulting in $800G (after planned reallocation of OMIC I funds from external expenditure to internal investment) in state funding. Led team to obtain commitment letters for over $2.5M for internships in under one week.
Supervised 18 graduate student (16 MS, 2 PhD) to completion as major advisor. A substantial number of students have become leaders in their industry or faculty.
As Interim Associate Vice President, became the de facto leader of an after-hours, monthly cross-campus group of department chairs (spanning disciplines including English, Mathematics, and History) formed to share experience and support one another’s success.
Dayton Area’s Affiliate Societies Council (that includes AIAA, ASME and other professional societies) recognized my contributions through the Outstanding Engineering and Scientist Award for Education in 2011.
Recognized for service twice by Wright State’s College of Engineering and Computer Science.
Developed and coordinated what became Wright State’s second-largest K-12 STEM outreach event, drawing as many as 800 students per year from hundreds of miles away over 15 years, run on an annual budget of roughly $2,000 with about 20 staff and 50 student volunteers, with a deliberate focus on impact per dollar; a version of the event has since been adopted at another institution. Served as a STEM Fellow at the Montgomery County Regional STEM Center developing K12 STEM lesson plans meeting Ohio Department of Education guidelines (2008–2010).
Received a Certificate of Award for Outstanding Contributions to the ISAT Program for work on the DARPA Innovative Satellite Antenna Program performing non-publishable research and analysis.
Served as advisor to SWE for ten years personally advising many of the members, developing leadership skills, and providing and assisting with outreach opportunities targeting bringing young women into STEM fields.
Served for several years as an Associate Editor for Shock and Vibration and the International Journal of Modeling and Simulation.
Awarded two medals for service beyond supporting the AIAA SDM conference through transition to a new software system, overcoming and debugging the conference system, and serving on the AIAA conference software advisory committee, and a third for later service.
Created the for-credit internship program within the College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS), addressing a long observed need for both academically formalized experiential learning and greater support for connecting our students to industry. Developed a fiscally sustainable model for the intern program (see prior bullet) and programmed (with N. Klingbeil) the office to ensure greater interaction between intern office and students.
