Christopher Edwards
Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Senior Fellow at the Precourt Institute for Energy
BioThe Edwards research group is focused on fundamental research for advanced energy technologies. The group performs theoretical and experimental studies of energy transformations such that the conversion process can be made cleaner, more efficient, and more controllable than has been possible with traditional technologies. Applications include advanced transportation engines (piston and turbine) and advanced electric power generation with carbon mitigation.

Matthew R. Edwards
Acting Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering
BioMatthew Edwards will be an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering from Summer 2022. His research applies high-power lasers to the development of optical diagnostics for fluids and plasmas, the study of intense light-matter interactions, and the construction of compact light and particle sources, combining adaptive high-repetition-rate experiments and large-scale simulations to explore new regimes in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science, and plasma physics.
Matthew received BSE, MA, and PhD degrees in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from Princeton University. He was then a Lawrence Fellow in the National Ignition Facility and Photon Science Directorate at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. -
Charles (Chuck) Eesley
Associate Professor of Management Science and Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focuses on the influence of the external environment on entrepreneurship. I investigate the types of environments that encourage the founding of high growth, technology-based firms. I build on previous literature that explains why entrepreneurs are successful and my major contribution is to demonstrate that institutions matter. I show that effective institutional change influences who starts firms, not just how many firms are started.

Jo Ann Efobi
Masters Student in Bioengineering, admitted Autumn 2021
BioJo Ann Efobi graduated magna cum laude with a degree in Neuroscience from Northwestern University. As an undergraduate, she performed research on child development and supported survivors of torture in receiving primary care by serving as a French translator and social work volunteer among other activities. She is interested in cardiovascular and brain research and currently works on research investigating tissue engineering-based treatments for myocardial infarcts.
