College of Engineering Recognizes 8 Faculty with 2024 Excellence Awards

Dan Molzahn, assistant professor in the school of electrical and computer engineering and SEI initiative lead for the Energy Club received the outstanding teacher award from the College of Engineering (COE) as a part of its third annual Faculty awards. COE honored eight faculty members for their excellence in research, service, teaching, inventorship, and commercialization.

In addition to his research on energy systems, Molzahn has a goal of educating the next generation of electric power engineers. For instance, he leads a 30-student Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) team that develops video game simulations of power grids operating during extreme events. A first iteration of the game currently is installed at the Georgia Tech Dataseum in the Price Gilbert Library and plans are underway to incorporate a version into next year’s Seth Bonder high school summer camps.
