​Christopher L. Muhlstein is an Associate Professor and MSE Faculty Fellow in the School of Materials Science and Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He is a Co-PI of the Composite Hybrid Materials Interfacing (CHMI) NSF-funded Industry-University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) and Associate Director of the Mechanical Properties Characterization Facility (MPCF). He currently serves as the Program Chair of the 15th International Conference on Fracture (ICF15). Dr. Muhlstein’s research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of fracture and fatigue in bulk and thin film materials, including polymers, composites, metals, and ceramics.

Dr. Muhlstein received his B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley (1994), M.S. in Metallurgy from the Georgia Institute of Technology (1996), and Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley (2002). Prior to joining the faculty at Georgia Tech he was faculty in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Penn State, and he has also worked as an engineering consultant at Exponent, Inc. (Failure Analysis Associates). He is a member of Alpha Sigma Mu and Keramos honor societies and an NSF CAREER award recipient (2005). Dr. Muhlstein has co-authored and edited six books, published more than 70 research publications, and been awarded four U.S and one Canadian patent.
