- M.S., Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University, 1981.
- B.S., Mechanical Engineering, Cornell University, 1979.
Jim Mulholland is a Professor Emeritus in the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering at Georgia Tech. He received a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell in 1979, M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford in 1981, and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from M.I.T. in 1992. Between M.S. and Ph.D., he worked for an energy R&D firm and as a research engineer at EPA's air research center. He has been on the faculty in the Environmental Engineering Program at Georgia Tech since 1993. His research includes study of the formation and control of air pollutants, in particular organic combustion byproducts, and air quality data analysis for use in epidemiologic studies.
