    Faisal M. Alamgir is a Professor in the School of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) and an initiative Lead in the Institute of Materials at the Georgia Institute of Technology (GT).

    As a faculty at MSE, he focuses on teaching the atomic-scale fundamentals of structure-property relations and on materials characterization. As the Initiative Lead for the Institute of Material at GT, he focuses on developing next generation capabilities in materials characterization.

    He earned his B.S. degree in Physics and Mathematics (magna cum laude) from the Coe College and his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Lehigh University. He held a postdoctoral position jointly between Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) and Hunter College of the City University of New York (CUNY) and a simultaneous position as adjunct professor at the CUNY Hunter College, where he taught physics courses.

    Prior to joining GT, he spent 1.5 years at the National Institute of Standards and Technology as a Visiting Scientist to help develop experimental capabilities at their hard x-ray spectroscopy beamline at Brookhaven National Laboratory.
