Biographical Sketch
Brian
A. English received the PhD., MS, and BS degrees
in Mechanical
Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2006, 1999, and 1997,
respectively. He is currently a post-doc in Mechanical Engineering at
Georgia Institute of Technology and founder of EngeniusMicro LLC.
Current
research interests include high-temperature wireless sensing for heat-flux,
pressure, and temperature, among others. Research also includes
Nanopatterning for sensor enhancement. Brian's previous research
includes
hybrid MEMS/Lamination fabrication, electrostatic microactuators, fluidic
microactuators, gas-fuel combustion actuators, and solid-propellant
combustion actuators. Brian's PhD thesis was titled
"Lamination-based Gas
Generator Actuator Arrays." These actuators use the gas
generated from
high-energy solid propellants for flight control of a spinning-body
projectile.
