Jechiel Jagoda
Dr. Jagoda joined the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1979 after three years at the Centre National de La Recherche Scientifique, Mulhouse, France and the Technical University of Munich, F. R. Germany. His prime research interests lie in the area of combustion and propulsion with special emphasis on combustion diagnostics, unsteady and pulse combustion, micro-combustors, low NOx combustors and combustion control. He has extensive experience in optical diagnostics including Schlieren imaging, laser Doppler velocimetry, phase Doppler velocimetry, as well as Rayleigh, Raman and Mic scattering. Dr. Jagoda has published 54 refereed publications, numerous non_refereed papers and given over 100 presentations at national and international meetings. He is a member of Sigma Xi and The Combustion Institute and has served a three-year term on the Technical Committee for Propellants and Combustion of the AIAA. He serves as a reviewer for several journals and sponsoring agencies. He was a member of the Program Subcommittee for the 19th and 22nd through 31st Symposia (International) on Combustion.
Professor Jagoda's teaching interests include core aerospace engineering courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels, emphasizing the fundamental principles of aerospace structures, dynamics, and materials. His instruction integrates theoretical foundations and practical applications, fostering a comprehensive understanding of aerospace engineering concepts. Professor Jagoda is committed to developing student capabilities through a blend of lectures, problem-solving sessions, and project-based learning experiences.
Professor Jagoda's research focuses on the mechanics and behavior of advanced aerospace materials and structures. His work involves investigating the mechanical properties, durability, and failure mechanisms of materials used in aerospace applications. Emphasis is placed on experimental and computational methods to understand material responses under various loading conditions, aiming to improve structural performance and reliability in aerospace systems.
