Dr. David T Fullwood is a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Brigham Young University. Dr. David T Fullwood received his PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of London in 1992, after completing a BS in Mathematics at the University of York and an MS at the University of Utah. He then spent 12 years in the nuclear industry, transferring centrifuge technology to energy storage flywheels. Critical areas of the mechanical design that he oversaw included hydrodynamic bearings, multifunctional composites, and high-speed rotational behavior. Dr. David T Fullwood returned to academia in 2004 by completing an MS in mechanical engineering at Brigham Young University. His subsequent academic career began at Drexel University, followed by the past 15 years at Brigham Young University. His interests have included microstructure-sensitive design, high-resolution EBSD, and nanocomposite sensors.
