John Gallagher

John Gallagher serves as Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Wright State University, where he has held faculty positions since 2000 including progression from Assistant Professor (2000-2006) to Associate Professor (2006-2013) and Professor (2013-2020). He concurrently served as Interim Chair of the Department of Biomedical, Industrial, and Human Factors Engineering from 2018-2020, demonstrating cross-departmental leadership within the university's engineering programs.

His academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. in Computer Engineering, Case Western Reserve University (1998)
• M.S. in Computer Science, Case Western Reserve University (1991)
• B.S. in Computer Engineering, Case Western Reserve University (1989)

Dr. Gallagher's research integrates computer engineering with biomedical applications and human factors, particularly focused on defense systems as evidenced by his current Principal Investigator role on a U.S. Air Force Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA FY-DAY-LAB-##) running through 2024. This federally funded project reflects his specialization in transferring academic research to military applications.

His career trajectory shows consistent advancement within Wright State's engineering programs, with prior appointment as Assistant Professor of Computer Science at SUNY Institute of Technology (1998-2000) before joining his current institution. The ongoing Air Force grant confirms his active research status and institutional affiliation beyond the 2020 faculty position end date listed in his appointment history.
