Full-time faculty roles in the School of Engineering

Brian Aull, Professor of the Practice, Electrical and Computer Engineering

First as a lecturer and now as a professor of the practice, Brian Aull’s focus at Tufts is teaching the next generation of engineers. Previously he pursued research on photon counting image sensors based on the integration of silicon Geiger-mode avalanche photodiode arrays with all-digital CMOS readout circuits.

Emily Carlson, Assistant Teaching Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering

Emily Carlson recently earned her PhD in electrical engineering at Tufts, where she also taught courses in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. She conducted research in Tufts REAP Labs, designing, simulating and fabricating optical elements to improve the efficiency of thermophotovoltaics.

Remco Chang, Professor, Computer Science

Remco Chang was promoted to full professor this year. His research interests include visual analytics, information visualization, human-computer interaction, and databases. He joined Tufts in 2010 and received an NSF CAREER award in 2015. His research has been funded by the NSF, DARPA, the Walmart Foundation, Army, Navy, DHS, MIT Lincoln Lab, and Draper, among others.

Prashant Deshlahra, Associate Professor, Chemical and Biological Engineering

Prashant Deshlahra was awarded tenure and was promoted to associate professor. His research seeks to advance understanding of structure-function relations heterogeneous catalysis and develop new catalytic materials for efficient energy conversion and sustainable chemical processes. He joined Tufts in 2016.

Khaled ElMahgoub, Assistant Teaching Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering

Previously a part-time lecturer, Khaled ElMahgoub’s research interests include software engineering, RFID systems, medical devices, sensors, channel coding, and FDTD. He has co-authored over 45 technical journal and conference papers throughout his academic years.

Amy Hirschfeld, Distinguished Senior Lecturer, Tufts Gordon Institute

Amy Hirschfeld has more than 30 years of experience in technical writing, editing, publications production, and marketing. She has taught technical writing and business communication at Tufts University since 2001 and joined Tufts Gordon Institute in 2009. Previously a senior lecturer, she focuses on technical and managerial communication.

Jonathan Lamontagne, Associate Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering

Jonathan Lamontagne was awarded tenure and was promoted to associate professor. He aims to improve decision making for multisector systems confronting uncertainty, including climate change, population growth, and technological innovation. His research interests span water resources, hydrologic statistics, integrated global change assessment. He joined Tufts in 2017.

Madeleine Oudin, Associate Professor, Biomedical Engineering

Madeleine Oudin was awarded tenure and was promoted to associate professor.  She joined Tufts in 2017 and previously held the title of Tiampo Family Assistant Professor. She investigates various components of the tumor microenvironment in driving tumor metastasis and drug resistance, using an interdisciplinary approach that combines cell biology, microfluidics, intravital imaging, systems biology, and implantable devices.

Chris Swan, Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering

Chris Swan was promoted to full professor this year and has been at Tufts since 1994. Currently he serves as the Dean of Undergraduate Education in the School of Engineering. His research focuses on engineering education, waste reuse, and unique soil behaviors. He champions the development and implementation of community engagement efforts in engineering education.
