Stephen Timothy Gordon II is a Ph.D. engineer with interdisciplinary expertise across
electrical engineering, materials science, and civil engineering. His research develops
rapid electrical (ohmic) curing and additive manufacturing of fly-ash-based geopolymers,
and the electrical, dielectric, and inductive characterization of sustainable construction
materials. He has taught undergraduate engineering as Instructor of Record across seven
terms (300+ students) and is author or co-author of ten scholarly works — first author on two.
