TaglinePrincipal Research Scientist, Materials Systems Laboratory
TitlePrincipal Research Scientist, Materials Systems Laboratory
DescriptionDr. Kirchain received a Ph.D. from MIT. His research focuses on the environmental and economic implications of materials selection.

The choice of material potentially has sweeping implications on the realization of a product. Materials affect not only properties, but also dictate available production processes, and therefore the physical constraints within which a designer must work. Similarly, the synergism of design, materials, and process affect the environmental impacts associated with a product

Full NamePaul A. Lagac_
TaglineMargaret MacVicar Faculty Fellow, Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Engineering Systems
TitleMargaret MacVicar Faculty Fellow
Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics and Engineering Systems
DescriptionDr. Lagac_ received his Ph.D. from MIT. Upon joining the faculty in 1982, he concentrated his work in the areas of mechanics, fracture, longevity, damage resistance, and damage tolerance of composite materials and their structures. He has published widely on these topics and on general topics related to composite materials and their structures.

With this work and his extensive cooperation with industry as background, he has been an initiator and key leader of an effort to improve the methodology for the design and certification of composite structures via the recognition and associated modeling of the various lengthscales involved in the behavior of composite structures.

In later years, he broadened his areas of engagement to include overall views of engineering systems, with particular emphasis on effects of technology.

Dr. Lagac_ has taught courses in the areas of mechanics of materials and structures, with special emphasis on composite materials and their structures, and has developed courses dealing with manufacturing with composite materials and advanced topics in composite materials and structures. With James Mar, he developed the video course series "Composite Materials." More recently he developed a course on "Systems Thinking" and a freshman course on the "Essentials of Engineering".

Dr. Lagac_ has received departmental and Institute awards for excellence in undergraduate teaching, and is a MacVicar Faculty Fellow. He is a member of several societies including being a fellow of the ASTM, a fellow of the AIAA, a fellow of the ASC, and an ICCM World Fellow of Composites. He has served for six years as the president of the International Committee on Composite Materials, and has received various awards. He also serves as a consultant to industry and as a participant on various governmental committees.
