David S. Dolling began his tenure as dean of GW’s School of Engineering and Applied Science on September 1, 2008. An internationally recognized aerospace engineer, Dolling served most recently as associate dean for academic affairs and Joe C. Walter, Jr. Chair in Engineering at the Cockrell School of Engineering at the University of Texas, Austin, where he joined the faculty in 1983.
Dolling is a fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and of the United Kingdom’s Royal Aeronautical Society. He conducts research in supersonic and hypersonic turbulent fluid dynamics and aerodynamics. His research applies to the design of supersonic aircraft engine inlets and other applications in which shock-induced, turbulent separation occurs.
Dolling holds an undergraduate degree in aeronautical engineering from London University and a graduate diploma from the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics in Brussels. He earned his Ph.D. in aerospace engineering from London University.
Martha Pardavi-Horvath is the School's associate dean of academic affairs and a professor of engineering and applied science in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Dr. Pardavi-Horvath received her master of science degree from Moscow State University and her Ph.D. from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Her research centers on future 2D high-density magnetic recording, size and shape dependent effects in magnetism, small particle magnetism, and high-frequency magnetization processes. Dr. Pardavi-Horvath has been a member of the SEAS faculty since 1989, during which time she has been active in a number of committees, including both undergraduate and graduate curriculum committees, the ECE graduate admissions committee, and for many years as the SEAS representative on GW's Honors Program committee.

Barbara Myklebust is the School’s assistant
dean for student affairs and a research professor in the Department
of Electrical and Computer Engineering. She received her bachelor
of science in physical therapy and her master of science in electrical
engineering (biomedical engineering specialization), both from
Marquette University. She then went on to complete her Ph.D. in
physiology from Rush Medical College in Chicago, Illinois. Dr.
Myklebust has considerable experience both in conducting biomedical
engineering research and in developing and implementing the practical
applications of this research. She has held a number of university
teaching and research posts, as well as positions with Veterans
Affairs medical centers, hospitals, and the National Institutes
of Health. In addition to her duties as assistant dean for student
affairs and research professor at SEAS, Dr. Myklebust also serves
as a policy analyst for the Office on Disability at the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services.
