Biography

J. Brian Jordon is a Professor and the inaugural Kenneth and Celia Carlile Endowed Chair in Mechanical Engineering in the School of Engineering and Computer Science. He is also Associate Director of Baylor's Point-of-Need Innovations Center (PONI). Before joining Baylor, he spent twelve years on the faculty at the University of Alabama. He earned his degrees from Mississippi State University.

His research focuses on solid-state additive manufacturing and how processing shapes microstructure and mechanical performance. He and his students connect process, microstructure, and properties through advanced characterization, mechanical testing, and process modeling.

He has co-authored more than 135 peer-reviewed journal articles and 35 conference papers, and has co-edited three books. He is also co-author of Fatigue in Friction Stir Welding, the first comprehensive reference on the topic. His work has been cited more than 7,000 times (h-index 49), and he has been named to the Stanford/Elsevier list of the top 2% of most-cited researchers worldwide. He is an ASME Fellow and an Associate Editor of the ASME Journal of Engineering Materials and Technology.

Dr. Jordon has secured more than $30 million in external research funding from the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, national laboratories, and industry. He has graduated 20 PhD and 15 MS students and currently leads a group of 14 PhD students, 2 MS students, 20 undergraduate researchers, and 2 research staff.
