Curriculum Vitae - M. Noori, Revised 3/24/2005

Biographical Summary of Mohammad Noori

Mohammad Noori, RJ Reynolds Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, served as the Head of the Mechanical Engineering Department at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) from 1991 to 1999 and the Head of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at NC State from Fall 1999 to Fall 2004. He was also the NC State principal investigator and one of the founders of the National Institute of Aerospace (NIA) Program at NC State. NIA, a consortium of six major universities (Georgia Tech, University of Maryland, Virginia Tech, University of Virginia, NC State University and North Carolina A&T) and AIAA Foundation, was formed in September 2002 in partnership with NASA Langley Research Center. It will receive $69M from NASA for cooperative research and $49M for task order contracts for the first five years of operation to do cutting edge aerospace and atmospheric research, develop new technologies for the nation and help inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. Noori was one of the seven members of the writing team that prepared the winning proposal for the establishment of NIA, served as one of the founding members of the Board of Directors of NIA and as one of the members of the Technical Advisory Committee of NIA until recently. “NIA is a world-class research and education institute created to do cutting edge aerospace and atmospheric research, develop new technologies for the nation and help inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers.” Prior to joining NC State, Noori was also the John Woodman Higgins Professor, the founder and the director of the Center for Loss Prevention and Structural Integrity (CLPSI), a multi-university-industry consortium with headquarters at WPI.

In his thirteen years of experience as the head of two large academic departments at both private and state institutions and directing two multi-university centers and programs, Noori has spearheaded three successful strategic planning initiatives that resulted in the development of creative educational and research programs and enhancing the national visibility and ranking of his departments. Most recently, Noori has served as a member of the Strategic Planning Team for NIA. This plan will position NIA as a major partner with NASA for implementing the President’s Exploration Initiative for Space. He is also presently involved in a strategic planning initiative at the University of Virginia. Noori has been a strong advocate of Industry-University partnerships and has built successful linkages with alumni, industry, government and other universities through entrepreneurial and innovative approaches. These partnerships have resulted in innovative education/research programs, opportunities for the students and the faculty, and developing multi-disciplinary research/education programs in partnership with industry. Noori spearheaded the development and implementation of the first ABET 2000 accreditation process and program in mechanical engineering in 1996, when WPI was selected as one of only two institutions in the US to carry the ABET2000 evaluation for the first time. Noori has also successfully led major and successful fund-raisings that have generated financial support for academic programs, faculty, and infrastructure. Noori has served in various other administrative capacities, including, but not limited to: university-wide planning committees; academic, government and industry advisory boards; as the Chair of the National Committee of Mechanical Engineering Department Heads, the executive body representing all mechanical engineering departments in North America; as a member of several US delegation teams and NSF planning committees, for developing US-Japan Cooperative Research programs, and has served on a number of NSF and state-wide planning, review boards and panels. He has also had the honor of being among a small number of scholars invited by President Clinton’s Special Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection, to present a Testimony at the Commission’s Hearing. Noori is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, has received the prestigious Japan Society for Promotion of Science Fellowship, has received numerous service recognitions from ASME, has been listed on numerous Who’s Who publications, and has received university and national awards in recognition of his teaching, research, and educational activities. He has been a strong advocate for innovation in undergraduate education and for integration of undergraduate-graduate research and education in partnership with industry. He has also developed, supervised and participated in innovative educational programs in partnership with industry and has been invited to several national planning workshops/panels for reshaping the engineering curriculum. Noori’s primary research interests are in the field of stochastic mechanics, random vibrations, structural health monitoring and adaptive structures. His work over the past twenty years has focused on random vibration of hysteretically degrading systems, seismic isolation, multi-functional structures, and structural reliability/uncertainty analysis of complex and nonlinear civil, aerospace, and marine structures. Since 1996, in collaboration with his colleagues in Japan, Noori has been involved in the development of various algorithms, and most recently in experimental benchmarking, for structural health monitoring and damage detection of structural systems. He has received over $12M in support of his research (excluding NIA contract) from NSF, ONR, NASA, National Sea Grant and industry. Noori has had the experience of supervising fourteen post-doctoral research projects, twelve doctoral dissertations, and thirty four master’s theses. He has published close to 180 journal and conference proceedings papers with his co-workers, has served as the guest editor of several journal volumes, contributed to invited volumes, and has given over sixty five invited and keynote lectures. Noori has served on numerous technical committees, journal editorial boards, and the scientific and organizing committees of international conferences. He has been a consultant to a large number of industries, including Fortune 500 companies. He is also a member of Sigma Xi, Pi Tau Sigma, Chi-Epsilon, and Sigma Mu Epsilon honorary societies.

2.5 DEVELOPMENT OF COOPERATIVE AND COLLABORATIVE PRORGAMS.

■ WPI-UPRM Center for Collaboration and Projects: In 1993-94, I initiated a unique and successful multi-level collaboration with the University of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez (UPRM) to address the strategic issue of attracting under-represented students to Engineering. In November 1995, an innovative collaborative education/research program, including a joint senior design project carried out by teams of students from WPI and UPRM, was signed by the Presidents of WPI and UPRM. This plan was an effective tool for the integration of graduate and undergraduate education/research and facilitated multi-disciplinary research in partnership with industry involving three universities. This program also became an effective tool for recruiting underrepresented groups to WPI graduate programs and provided a cultural and global experience for the students. In a period of 4 years, this initiative resulted in: o completion of 4 joint senior design team projects involving 12 faculty members from the two institutions, 42

UPRM and 30 WPI students. These projects integrated state-of-the-art research with undergraduate education. o National visibility through one of the joint team projects, “Utilization of Smart Materials in Active Seismic

Control,” that was featured as the front page article in 1997 in “Emerging Technologies,” a monthly publication of ASCE for the US Construction Industry.

o an NSF Sponsored Symposium on Global Awareness attended by leaders of industry and education from the U.S. and Latin America to address Integrative Education for Engineers.

o participation of the President of UPR System as a member of the WPI ME Dept’s Advisory Board o establishment of a WPI-UPRM Project Center in Mayaguez, funded, along with all joint projects, by the

United Technologies and Xerox Corporation o joint NSF-REU programs with UPRM faculty; o several joint proposals by WPI and UPRM faculty; o a prestigious international conference organized jointly by WPI and UPRM; o one DOE minority graduate fellowship; a pipeline of high quality minority students (3 undergraduate

exchange students, 8 students participating in NSF-REU programs, and 4 students who completed their graduate studies at WPI);

o short courses by WPI faculty at UPRM; and a summer program, financed by UPRM, for UPRM faculty to carry out research projects at WPI (3 faculty members in 3 summers).

A copy of WPI-UPRM Agreement, prepared by myself and two UPRM colleagues, available at: http://www.formulaconsulting.com/project/clpsi/wpi-uprm-main.html

■ Initiated a Collaboration Agreement for academic exchange between NC State University College of Engineering and Kyoto Institute of Technology, implemented in January 2003. The program facilitates:

1) Exchange of faculty and visiting scholars, and 2) Exchange of doctoral candidates for one year visits/research. The first doctoral student from KIT is spending AY 2004-05 at NC State.

■ Director, NC State program of the National Institute of Aerospace (NIA)– (See 1.4.2). Principal Investigator and coordinator of NC State team, and one of 7 members of the writing team, from six universities and AIAA, that won a national competition to create the National Institute of Aerospace. The proposals were reviewed by the National Academy of Engineering and our team was awarded a contract worth as much as $379M, and up to 15 years, to work with NASA's Langley Research Center to create NIA. The NIA was established as an independent, nonprofit entity in Hampton, VA in September 2002. For details please visit: www.ncsu.edu/nia and/or http://www.nianet.org

■ Director and founder, Center for Loss Prevention and Structural Integrity (CLPSI), a university-industry consortium founded in 1997 at WPI, with eight founding corporate members. Research staff were from: Cornell U., Clarkson U., Univ. of Southern California, UC-Irvine, and the U. of Puerto Rico-Mayaguez. CLPSI was financed by industrial membership, project fees, research grants and contracts. For details visit: http://www.formulaconsulting.com/project/clpsi/personalpages/mnnoori.htm

■ Founder of an Industrial Partners Program (IPP). IPP members provided annual memberships ($5,000 to $50,000 depending on the level of membership), and supported the department with renovation projects, creating endowed faculty enhancement funds, scholarships, fellowships, senior design sponsorships, and enhancement funds. The program generated, on average, $175,000 per year.

■ Spearheaded the restructuring of the entire Graduate Program in the ME Department at WPI through a two year effort and established five multidisciplinary thrust areas and a corresponding curriculum. This resulted in a more effective interaction among the faculty and graduate programs; a five year BS/MS and a Master of Engineering in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, 1996-98.
