	Brent L. Adams  - Professor  -  Brigham Young University Office: 455B CTB  ›  Phone: 801.422.7124  ›  email:  b_l_adams@byu.edu  ›  Curriculum Vitae http://me.byu.edu/faculty/brentadams Ph.D. Ohio State University, 1979   Research Topics: Grain boundaries and defect sensitive properties. Microstructures for highly-constrained design. Background: Brent L. Adams is Dusenberry Professor of Mechanical Engineering at BYU. From 1976-80 he was Senior Research Engineer for Babcock and Wilcox Company, and in1980 he served as a member of the National Clad and Duct Committee for the breeder reactor program at Hanford. Since then he has since been a professor of materials science at University of Florida and Carnegie Mellon University, and a professor of mechanical engineering at Yale University and Brigham Young University. He was recipient of a National Science Foundation Presidential Young Investigator Award (1985-1990). Prof. Adams directed the team of researchers that developed the orientation imaging microscope, which is now used by over 400 laboratories some 30 countries of the world to advance the development of materials. He is the author of 170 papers, five edited proceedings and a new textbook entitled Microstructure Sensitive Design for Performance Optimization.
	David Fullwood - Associate Professor - Brigham Young University Office: 435 E CTB ›  Phone: 801.422.6316  ›  email: dfullwood@byu.edu›  Curriculum Vitae http://me.byu.edu/faculty/davidfullwood Ph.D. University of London, 1992   Research Topics: Composites, Computational Materials Background: David Fullwood is a member of the Materials group in the ME Department. Following his PhD he spent 12 years working for the nuclear industry in the UK. As Head of R&D and Head of Mechanical Engineering he developed high-speed energy storage flywheels based on novel composites for two spin-off companies. The result was the most high-tech flywheel available, with applications on the NY Metro, a Fuji wind farm and other areas requiring energy smoothing. Dr Fullwood now focuses on composites and computational materials.

	Christopher Mattson - Assistant Professor - Brigham Young University Office: 435G CTB ›  Phone: 801.422.6544  ›  email: mattson@byu.edu ›  Curriculum Vitae http://me.byu.edu/faculty/christophermattson Ph.D. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 2003   Research Topics: Multiobjective Optimization, Product Development, Conceptual Engineering Design Background: Christopher A. Mattson received his BS and MS in mechanical engineering from Brigham Young University and his PhD in mechanical engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Prior to joining BYU, Prof. Mattson was the Global Director of Engineering Design and Research at ATL Technology and a member of the company’s executive committee. He established and managed ATL’s Silicon Valley office (1999-2000), and ATL’s twenty-five person Engineering Design Center in mainland China (2004-2006). He has designed or led the design of various products, which have been used by over 15 million people around the world. He has over 20 articles published in journals and conference proceedings, has been an invited lecturer at two universities in China, and holds two patents. He is a member of ASME, AIAA, and Sigma Xi. Prof. Mattson has served as a member of the AIAA Multidisciplinary Design Optimization Technical Committee since 2003.
