Dr. Brian P. Grady leads the polymer and nanomaterials characterization group at the University of Oklahoma. He also has a substantial effort in the study of surfactants, with particular interest in adsorption at the solid-liquid interface. He is a faculty member of the School of Chemical, Biological and Materials Engineering in the College of Engineering. He is also the Director for the Institute for Applied Surfactant Research at the University of Oklahoma

He is a Fellow of the Society of Plastics Engineers

He is the Faculty Advisor for Triangle Fraternity at the University of Oklahoma

Dr. Grady also teaches courses, is on the steering committee and co-advises students at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand.

Errata for book: Carbon Nanotube-Polymer Composites: Manufacture, Properties and Applications.

Dr. Grady is Quality Assurance Manager for CeralUSA
