Professor Farrokh Mistree holds the L. A. Comp Chair in the School of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Oklahoma (OU) in Norman, Oklahoma. Before his arrival in August 2009 at OU, Farrokh has been a Professor of the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech for 17 years. Farrokh received his B. Tech (Hons) degree in Naval Architecture in 1967 from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur and his Ph.D. in Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley in 1974. He has co-authored two textbooks, one monograph and more than 400 technical papers dealing with the design of mechanical, thermal and structural systems; ships and aircraft. His design experience spans the areas of mechanical, aeronautical, structural, and industrial engineering. He has taught courses in engineering design, naval architecture, solid mechanics, operations research and computer science. He has supervised 28 doctoral students and more than 50 master's students, all of whom are well-placed around the world; 12 of his doctoral students are pursuing highly successful careers in academia. Farrokh is a Fellow of ASME, an Associate Fellow of AIAA, a Life Member of the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi and a Member of ASEE, RINA and SNAME. He was named the ASME Ruth and Joel Spira Outstanding Engineering Design Educator in 2011. In September 2012 he was recognized as a Distinguished Alumnus of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India. In December 2012, he received the Life Time Achievement Award from the International Society for Agile Manufacturing, Lafayette, Louisiana. Farrokh’s current research focus is model-based realization of complex systems by managing uncertainty and complexity. The key question he is investigating is what are the principles underlying rapid and robust concept exploration when the analysis models are incomplete and possibly inaccurate? His quest for answers to the key question are anchored in three projects, namely,

1) Integrated Realization of Robust, Resilient and Flexible Networks
2) Integrated Realization of Engineered Materials and Products
3) Managing Organized and Disorganized Complexity:  Exploration of the Solution Space

Professor Janet K. Allen holds the John and Mary Moore Chair of Engineering and is a Professor of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the University of Oklahoma (OU). Before coming to OU, she retired from the Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech where she is Professor Emerita. The focus of Dr. Allen’s research is engineering design and especially the management of uncertainty. She and her students study/have studied energy systems, mechanical systems, materials, and design collaboration and education. Our group was among the first to suggest the use of modeling uncertainty in design, particularly in the early stages of design. We recognized the importance of statistical simulation and computer-based experimentation in design. We also were among the first to demonstrate the importance of using the design of experiments in exploring regions of design space in order to create surrogate models. This is a necessary step in moving away from the costly and time-consuming method of testing designs by building prototypes and replacing physical prototypes with computer-based experiments. Using surrogate models lead to the investigation of various aspects of robust design of many different systems, especially multilevel and multiscale problems. Janet Allen and her students have published over 200 papers in journals, conference proceedings and edited books. She is a Fellow of ASME, an Honorary Member of Pi Tau Sigma, and is Associate Editor of The Journal of Mechanical Design (Transactions of ASME). Roughly one half of her doctoral students are in academia; the other half are in industry; as consultants, as entrepreneurs or in large companies. Her MS thesis students have done well for themselves in industry. Most are successful in large companies or the DOD. A few, after learning the ropes in industry for a few years, have started their own businesses.

Dr.Mark F. Horstemeyer is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering Department at Mississippi State University (MSU) and holding a Chair position in Solid Mechanics in the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems (CAVS) at MSU. Professor Horstemeyer's passion is to perform scientific research with an engineering application in mind in the area of mechanics of materials.  His microstructure-property modeling efforts can be used to optimally design not only automotive components and systems but weapons, computers, aircraft, and other applications as well.  Furthermore, now that the mathematics relating microstructure to properties have been coupled, solving the inverse problem to achieve new materials designs is tractable.  This potentially has a large impact in the design community.  His experience at Sandia National Laboratories in working at various size scales provides a perspective in the research and design community that is different, beneficial, and challenging.  In summary, at the structural scale, he has been involved in designing weapons/automotive components; at the macroscale scale he has developed internal state variable formulations related to plasticity and damage while coupling theoretical modeling to experiments; at the mesoscale he has worked on crystal plasticity formulations and worked microstructure-property relations from experiments and modeling paradigms; and at the atomic level he has analyzed size scale effects with atomistic modeling. At Sandia National Laboratories (Livermore, CA), he worked on a myriad of projects mostly focusing on weapons programs but has recently transferred the research and technologies developed at Sandia to the automotive industry.  Currently at MSU, he has collaborations with researchers at Sandia National Laboratories, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Naval Research Laboratory, Naval Surface Warfare Center, USCAR, GM, Ford, Alcoa, and Nissan. He has published over 250 journal articles, conference papers, and technical reports and is continually invited to give lectures for universities, government laboratories, and U.S. industry.  He has received several technical awards at Sandia and a R&D100 award for his work on microstructure-property modeling.

Dr. Yucheng Liu is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering Department at Mississippi State University (MSU). He received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Hefei University of Technology (China) in 1997, and received his M.S. and Ph.D both in Mechanical Engineering from University of Louisville in 2003 and 2005 respectively.
