Richard,Malak,Associate Professor,"Our research objective is to discover new principles, methods, and tools for the design of engineered systems. Trends are toward systems with increased functionality, more components, and a tighter integration of physical and computer-based elements. Designers are under great pressure to design systems in minimal time despite rapidly rising design complexity. Advances in systems design can have a broad impact on society by helping designers find better solutions to their problems. This will lead to systems having enhanced performance, higher efficiency, lower environmental impact, etc. In essence, we aim to bring about better-engineered systems through improved systems design methodology.
Our lab focuses on quantitative methods for systems design, with an emphasis on rigorous foundations and unlocking value through the formalization of reusable design knowledge.",Faculty Affiliate||Associate Professor,Mechanical Engineering||Energy Institute,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n52a7e5e8

Abraham,Clearfield,Distinguished Professor,"Our research interests are focused in solid state and materials chemistry and encompass a wide variety of projects. An important goal is the ability to design and synthesize new materials whose structure and properties can be predicted and controlled. Layered compounds are amenable to manipulation to produce new structures because of the weak forces between layers. We have learned how to separate the layers of several classes of compounds and are reconstituting them into novel materials. For example, we have prepared staged materials in which alternating layers are hydrophobic and hydrophilic.
The surfaces of our layered materials react with a variety of molecules to bond them to the surface. We are developing such materials for drug delivery, heterogeneous catalysis, and polymer-nanoparticle composites.
Single crystal X-ray diffraction has been the key tool in elucidating the structure of solids. For many compounds, single crystals are unavailable so that indirect methods need to be used. We pioneered the solution of crystal structures from X-ray powder data and have had considerable success. The methods need to be improved and extended to more complex systems such as poorly crystallized materials. Combined use of X-ray, neutron and synchrotron methods are in progress and extension to EXAFS and amorphous scattering techniques is contemplated.",Distinguished Professor,Chemistry,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n6dc4bd81

Gabriella,Ten Have,Research Assistant professor,"My current expert position within the Center for Translational Research in Aging & Longevity (CTRAL) is based on 25-years of expertise on nutrition, metabolism, and in vivo (patho)physiological studies involving the use of stable isotope approaches and methodologies in animals. I was heavily involved in the design and construction of the new Human Clinical Research Facility at Texas A&M University in 2016 (current home of CTRAL) which further increased my laboratory design, management, and leadership skills. As Director of Animal Research within CTRAL, I design the animal use and the stable isotope use protocols, and perform complex surgical procedures. I develop and implement new quantitative metabolic and stable isotope techniques and procedures in large and small animals. As co-director of the CTRAL analytical lab, I review, design, and collect data pertaining to human and animal stable isotope studies collaborating with national and international researchers. I am also responsible for the administrative responsibilities related to regulatory affairs, (budget) management of the labs and clinic. I oversee the coordination of analyses, all pharmacy related activities, quality control, lab personnel, general equipment maintenance, and laboratory safety procedures. I mentor CTRAL research assistants, graduate students and postdocs, and assist faculty and (inter)national collaborating faculty with grant writing and scientific publications. Finally, I'm a Managing editor of the journals Clinical Nutrition (IF:6.4) and Clinical Nutrition ESPEN.

Pablo,Tarazaga,Professor,"My research focuses on the general areas of structural dynamics, vibration, testing, adaptive structures and smart materials.
Structural Dynamics
Our work focuses on several aspects of structural dynamics such as modeling, vibration suppression, vibro-acoustics, nonlinear systems, testing (environmental) and validation. Our work strongly focuses on bridging the theoretical and experimental field in order to provide well-validated and trustworthy systems. Our testing labs feature several distinct capabilities such as non-contact measurements, SIMO and MIMO capabilities, large shakers, non-contact excitation, and ground isolation platforms.
Adaptive Structures
By adaptive structures we refer to structures that have the ability to adapt, evolve or change their properties or behavior in response to the environment around them. Much of this work is accomplished with domain-coupled material such as piezoceramics and shape memory alloys and use much of the techniques we use in structural dynamics to achieve, for example, high precision control and structure integration in a native way.
Smart Infrastructure
As founder and co-Director of the Virginia Tech Smart Infrastructure Laboratory, I have led a team focused on research in topics that utilize sensor information to improve the design, monitoring and daily operation of civil and mechanical infrastructure as well as to investigate how humans interact with the built environment. This work features the fully instrumented Goodwin Hall with over 240 accelerometers through the building.",Professor||Associate Department Head of Research and Strategic Initiatives||James J Cain ‘51 Faculty Fellow,Mechanical Engineering||Mechanical Engineering||Mechanical Engineering,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/naa07d17f
