Beshoy Morkos is an Associate Professor at the University of Georgia's College of Engineering, leading the MODE2L (Manufacturing Optimization, Design, and Engineering Education Lab) Group. His research spans system design, manufacturing innovation, and engineering education, emphasizing computational modeling and student motivation. He holds a Ph.D. from Clemson University, where he also conducted postdoctoral research on engineering education funded by NSF.
Key research areas include model-based system design, AI-driven manufacturing optimization, and fostering student persistence through design experiences. His work is supported by NSF, ONR, USDA, NASA JPL, and industry partners like Blue Origin and Lockheed Martin. Notable awards include the ASME CIE Dissertation of the Year Award for his transformative research on requirements analysis tools.
Recent articles focus on AI-human collaboration, cyber-physical systems, and industry requirements culture. He has pioneered methods for requirement volatility prediction, design standard identification, and gaze-based product feedback collection. His educational initiatives include transitioning hands-on labs to online formats and using gamification to improve learning outcomes.
Dr. Morkos' lab develops tools like joint embedding models linking requirements to CAD designs and Bayesian frameworks for facility layout optimization. He actively bridges academia and industry through projects addressing challenges in additive manufacturing repair, mass personalization supply chains, and manufacturing-as-a-service platforms.
