Jorge,Alvarado,Professor,"Dr. Jorge Alvarado is a professor in the Department of Engineering Technology and Industrial Distribution at Texas A&M University (TAMU). He holds a joint-appointment in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at TAMU. He teaches courses in the areas of thermal sciences, fluid mechanics, and fluid power. Dr. Alvarado's research interests are in the areas of nanotechnology, micro-scale heat transfer, electronic cooling, phase change materials, thermal storage, bio-fuel combustion, and energy conservation and use of renewable energy in buildings. He received his BS degree in mechanical engineering (1991) from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayag?ez; MS (2000) and PhD (2004) degrees in mechanical engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
He has worked and collaborated with the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, Office of Naval Research (ONR), and the University of Wisconsin at Madison and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, among others. Recent work involves enhanced condensation using hybrid surfaces with hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, characterization of microencapsulated phase change material slurry and nanoparticles as heat transfer fluids, as well as the study of spray and droplet impingement cooling using nanostructured surfaces. He and his research team have also characterized experimentally the flow behavior and heat transfer performance of a heat exchanger consisting of vortex generators.",Faculty Affiliate||Professor,Engineering Technology and Industrial Distribution||Energy Institute,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n1e1547d1
Lee,Allison,Associate Professor,"My research includes sales, learning pedagogy, personal branding, ethics and artificial intelligence, focusing particularly at the nexus of these relationships for industrial distribution, supply chain and artificial intelligence. This is an emergent area of vital concern to The Industrial Distribution program and offers an opportunity to contribute to our industry partners and their success.

Allison, Lee, Liu Yu, Samuel Martinu, and Eddie Wei (2023) is a project that has very important implications for policy makers across the globe. Journal of Business Research is considered an A level journal in the marketing and sales discipline, by almost all / any standard. Per Google Scholar metrics in the Business, Economics and Management category, it is the #1 ranked journal. It is also number one when drilling down to the marketing discipline.
We use World Bank Enterprise Survey data to examine the differences in key factors of production for male owned / operated firms relative to women owned / operated firms. Specifically, we examine the World Bank Enterprise Survey (WBES) data from 2006 to 2017 for over 130,000 firms in 130 mostly developing countries to explore the performance variance between firms led by women vs. men.",Associate Professor,Engineering Technology and Industrial Distribution,https://scholars.library.tamu.edu/vivo/display/n257d3976
