About the Advanced Materials Research Institute (AMRI)

Oranizational Diagram

AMRI Organizational Structure

The Advanced Materials Research Institute was formed to meet the research needs of the University of New Orleans in the area of materials science. An organizational diagram (left) of the components of AMRI is shown.

AMRI Advisory Board

The administration of AMRI involves two advisory boards, the Campus Advisory Board (CAB) and the Technical Advisory Board (TAB). The Director of AMRI reports to the Dean of the College of Sciences (Dr. Steven G. Johnson) who consults the CAB on matters pertaining to the administration of AMRI (e.g., appointments to the senior staff of AMRI, ratification of nominations for membership on the Technical Advisory Board, etc.). Although AMRI has a multi-disciplinary research mission, it is sponsored jointly by the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Physics in the College of Sciences at the University of New Orleans and the composition of the Campus Advisory Board reflects this authority.

Members of the Campus Advisory Board

  • Dr. Steven G. Johnson, Dean of the College of Sciences and Chairman of the CAB
  • Carol Lunn, Assistant Vice President for Research and Economic Development
  • Dr. Lizette Chevalier, Dean, College of Engineering
  • Dr. Mark Trudell, Chairman, Department of Chemistry
  • Dr. Ashok Puri, Chairman, Department of Physics
  • Dr. John Wiley, Director of AMRI

Technical Advisory Board

Industrial and government involvement is crucial to the development of AMRI. A Technical Advisory Board (TAB) oversees the operation of AMRI. The duties of the TAB are to provide expertise and insight in the development of AMRI projects and to evaluate the value and utility of AMRI research to both the private sector and government programs. The TAB oversees the development of research initiatives at AMRI, directs the addition and distribution of personnel, conducts a yearly review of the operation and performance of the Institute, and makes recommendations on reallocation of AMRI resources.

Members of the Technical Advisory Board

  • Dr. John T. Vaughey, Argonne National Laboratory
  • Dr. Thomas Kodenkandath, Sila Nanotechnologies, Inc.
  • Dr. Jeff Gimble, Talaria Antibodies, LLC
  • Dr. Stuart Wolf, Institute for Nanoscale and Quantum Scientific & Technological Advanced Research, University of Virginia
  • Dr. Orhan Kizilkaya, LSU CAMD
  • Dr. Pleasant "Hoop" Hooper, TMS BioScience

AMRI Research Constortium

AMRI has established a research consortium which includes academic, government, and industrial participants and their research laboratories.
