Two Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) faculty have been awarded promotion and/or tenure, effective July 1, 2025.
Daniel Molzahn has been promoted to associate professor with tenure, while Fatih Sarioglu is now a full professor.
Daniel Molzahn
Associate Professor
Daniel Molzahn researches optimization and control algorithms to improve the reliability, resilience, and efficiency of electric power systems.
He was a research staff member at Argonne National Laboratory and a Dow Postdoctoral Fellow in Sustainability at the University of Michigan, before joining the ECE faculty. He received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering and the masters of public affairs from the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
At Georgia Tech, he is a Strategic Energy Institute Fellow and advisor of the Energy Club. Molzahn chaired the technical program committee for the 22nd Power Systems Computation Conference. He received Georgia Tech’s Class of 1940 W. Roane Beard Outstanding Teacher Award in 2024, Georgia Tech’s Roger P. Webb ECE Junior Faculty Award in 2023, the NSF CAREER Award in 2022, and the IEEE Power and Energy Society’s Outstanding Young Engineer Award in 2021.
A. Fatih Sarioglu
Professor
A. Fatih Sarioglu is a Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Sarioglu's work centers on developing tools based on bio-microelectromechanical systems and applying these technologies for investigation and manipulation of biological systems on the micro and nanoscale for biomedical applications.
Sarioglu worked as a postdoctoral research associate at the Center for Nanoscale Science and Engineering at Stanford University, and then, as a research fellow at the Center for Engineering in Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. Sarioglu received the B.Sc. degree from Bilkent University, Ankara, Turkey, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Stanford University, respectively, all in electrical engineering.
His research at Georgia Tech was recognized through several prestigious awards including the Beckman Young Investigator Award, the National Science Foundation CAREER Award and the Department of Defense IDEA Award.
