| George T. Gillies | | Research Professor, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering | | Ph.D., University of Virginia | | | | Dr. Gillies has served on the faculty since 1985. He has
published 300 technical reports and abstracts, 125 journal papers, 20 book
chapters and two books. He is the North American editor of Reports on Progress
in Physics. In 2000, Gillies was made a Fellow of the Institute of Physics
(Great Britain). Before joining the U.Va. faculty, he worked as a development
staff member for the U.S. Department of Energy's
Oak Ridge Complex in Tennessee, and
as a physicist for the International Bureau of Weights and Measures in Paris. | | | | Research Interests | | George Gillies' research
interests include the design of novel neurosurgical instrumentation systems,
including magnetic stereotactic devices. He also has ongoing projects in
many aspects of biomedical engineering, biomechanics and biophysics.
Other areas of interest include rotating machinery and controls, gravitational
physics, thermal and electrical metrology, and satellite-based tests of
fundamental physical laws. | | |
