J. Gregory McDaniel

Gregory McDaniel is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Boston University's College of Engineering, with affiliations in Materials Science & Engineering. He holds a Ph.D. from the Georgia Institute of Technology. His research focuses on advanced materials, computational mechanics, and structural acoustics, particularly viscoelastic materials and acoustic metamaterials.

Key research initiatives include developing computational methods for dynamic systems, imaging complex connections via high-speed cameras, and creating novel acoustic sources for target identification. His work integrates experimental and theoretical approaches to address challenges in vibration damping, noise reduction, and biomimetic systems.

• Awards:
• Metcalf Cup and Prize (2010)
• Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America (2006)
• Professor of the Year (2006)
• 2022 Residence Life Service Award

He leads the McDaniel Research Group, which collaborates on funded projects such as 'Radical Computational Approach to Dynamic Systems' and 'Acoustic Metamaterials with Amplified Dissipation.' His lab explores applications in aerospace, bio-inspired engineering, and infrastructure diagnostics using vibration-based machine learning.
