Dr. George received his Ph.D. degree from Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio. His research interests include high performance computing, intelligent systems, verification and testing of VLSI circuits and systems, VLSI and FPGA implementation for advanced signal processing and communication algorithms for digital wideband receivers, and biologically-inspired electronics and designs. Dr. George brings in several years of research and teaching in engineering disciplines, deep knowledge and a keen understanding of the local high tech industry, and is committed to recruit more women and minorities to the College. He has extensive experience in conducting collaborative research and has authored a number of peer-reviewed technical articles and reports, and is a recipient of several grants and awards for both scholarly activities and teaching including the 2012 NSF CAREER award. Since his appointment at CSUF in 2007 he has been awarded several highly competitive extramural grants from both NSF and the US Army Research Labs totaling over $1.3 M. Dr. George serves as an academic advisor for computer engineering students and since his appointment in 2007 has supervised several undergraduates and graduates on various student projects, including students from local community colleges as part of the STEM grant summer research program. He is the PI and program director for the ECS Academic Catalyst for Excellence (ACE) program, NSF funded program at CSUF that targets academically promising but economically disadvantaged students with emphasis on first generation college students and underrepresented students.

Email: smayoral@fullerton.edu
Dr. Salvador Mayoral received his Ph.D. in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from the University of California, Irvine in 2013. As a graduate student, Dr. Mayoral worked on the shielding of jet noise by a hybrid wing body aircraft. His current research interests are aeroacoustics, experimental fluid mechanics, and unmanned aerial vehicles. Dr. Mayoral is a currently working on developing a relative positioning system for unmanned aerial vehicles using propeller noise and modeling the aeroacoustic diffraction from the momentum wake of an aerial vehicle. Dr. Mayoral aims to develop an aerospace specialization within the Department of Mechanical Engineering and is currently restoring the Wind Tunnel Laboratory. Before joining the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Cal State Fullerton in the Fall of 2014, Dr. Mayoral worked as a Research and Development Engineer at Sonendo Inc. developing and testing medical devices for endodontics.
