Dr Tarazaga’s efforts concentrate in the wide areas of structural vibration. He has focused in areas such as: the creation of net wave propagation of finite structures with no reflection, modeling of multi-physics systems, large scale instrumentation, signal processing and smart material applications. His work has been applied to the railroad industry, smart buildings, bio-inspired cochlear sensors, high energy laser weapon systems and to improve the cybersecurity of additive manufactured parts. The majority of his work spans both theoretical and experimental practices.

Sa’ed Alajlouni is a senior TEES research engineer at the department of mechanical engineering. Before joining the FAST lab at Texas A&M, Alajlouni was an assistant professor in the department of Mechatronics Engineering at the Hashemite University, Jordan. His research interests include impact localization, input-force estimation (inverse problems), signal processing, optimization, algorithm development, and data-driven engineering in general. He has a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Virginia Tech, USA (focus: signals, systems, and controls); an MSc in Electrical Engineering from Texas Tech University, USA; and a BSc in Mechatronics Engineering from the Hashemite University.
