Oscar Barton, Jr., Ph.D., PE, F.ASME is a Professor and Dean of the Morgan State University Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr. School of Engineering. A native of Washington, D.C., he received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Tuskegee (Institute) University, his M.S. in Mechanical Engineering and Ph.D. in Applied Mechanics from Howard University in 1993. Barton joined Morgan Fall 2020, after completing 6 years at George Mason University and a 22-year career at the US Naval Academy.
Dr. Barton’s research focuses on the development of approximate closed form solutions for linear self-adjointsystems, those that govern the responses of composite structures, and the analysis of dynamic systems. More recently, he investigated the dynamic response of flexible composite structures subject to periodic and random excitation. He has mentored numerous midshipmen through independent research projects and has directed two Trident Scholars, the Naval Academy's flagship research program. He has published over 60 journal and conference articles on these topics.
