George A. "Fred" Wright is the chief engineer and principal research engineer of the Cyber Technology and Information Security Laboratory (CTISL) at the Georgia Tech Research Institute.[1] Wright was named chief engineer and deputy director of CTISL upon its creation as GTRI's eighth laboratory in 2010.[1] He was named interim director in 2014 upon director Bo Rotoloni's acceptance of the position of deputy director of GTRI's Information & Cyber Sciences division until Andrew Howard was selected to be the division's new director later that year.[2] His research focuses on cyber and electronic warfare systems, particularly distributed control and intelligence systems.[1][3] Wright is also an adjunct professor of computer science at Georgia Institute of Technology.[1]
Education
Wright holds three degrees, including a B.S. in electrical engineering from Memphis State University earned in 1986, and an M.S. and PhD in electrical engineering, both from Georgia Tech, awarded in 1987 and 1996, respectively.[3]
Career
Wright joined GTRI as a research engineer in the Electronic Systems Laboratory in 1987.[1] Prior to the creation of the Cyber Technology and Information Security Laboratory (CTISL), where he was named deputy director and chief engineer, Wright was chief engineer of ELSYS.[4]
