The cohort of thirty-five (35) ITACs serve all the regions of the United States. ITACs provide energy, water, waste, and productivity assessments for clients in their respective regions.
Our ITAC team is an experienced staff of Oklahoma State University faculty members and students. Dr. Hitesh Vora currently serves as ITAC Director and Dr. Michael McCombs serves as an Assistant Director.
At any one time, we have a staff of six to ten students ranging from Ph.D. to M.S. to undergraduate students. We have a satellite location at Wichita State University (Assistant Directors at WSU ITAC - Dr. Mehmet Bayram Yildirim and Dr. Deepak Gupta).
