Career

After earning her Ph.D., Bennett began working at GTRI as a research scientist in 1996 and as a professor in the Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering in 1997.[4] In 2000, she founded the Logistics and Maintenance Applied Research Center (LandMARC) and is currently its director.[4] Bennett became the director of the GTRI Electro-Optical Systems Laboratory in 2005. In 2014, she was named an Optical Society of America fellow for 2015.[5]

Bennett is a member of the Army Science Board. She is a Fellow in The Optical Society (OSA) and International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE) and a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). She has held officer positions in OSA and IEEE and serves in a variety of professional activities involving optical engineering research. She has been a topical editor and has served as a feature editor for Applied Optics and is a visiting lecturer for SPIE and OSA.

Bennett has served as a research proposal reviewer for the National Institute of Health and National Science Foundation and a reviewer for numerous referred journals. She is one of the first 10 Fellows chosen for Georgia Tech’s University Leadership program. In 2017, she won the Progress and Service Award for Sustained Impact in Administration from the Georgia Tech Research Corporation.

gollark: Mass routing?
gollark: If humans are acting rationally at achieving some sort of hidden goalset, you have to ask what that actually is.
gollark: But it's not toward actual stated goals.
gollark: You can only really say something is "rational" as a way to achieve some goals, not just objectively "rational" on its own. So arguably humans are somewhat rationally maximizing short-term happiness. *But*, isn't happiness at least partly just a heuristic for decision-making *too*?
gollark: This can probably just be read as "strong time preference" again, I guess, *partly*.
