Welcome to the
Web Page of
Dr. Craig S. Galbraith
Professor, Technology, Entrepreneurship and Corporate Strategy
GlaxoSmithKline Fellow, Technogy and Economic Development
In 1890 Charles Elliot, President of Harvard University, wrote that a good business
education develops “accuracy in observation, quickness and certainty in
seizing upon the main points of a new subject, and discrimination in separating the trivial from the
important in great masses of facts." To this extent, the
modern business management degree combines the best of the humanities, economics, liberal arts, and social sciences
into a course of study designed to enhance global life in the 21st century.

Real Life Experience - Technololgy Transfer Student Projects
Under the direction of Dr. Galbraith, Cameron graduate and undergraduate students are
assisting in transfering and commercializing advanced technologies.
Under various contracts with different Department of Defense technology transfer agencies, since Fall, 2003 UNCW project teams have been assigned to assist in this effort. UNCW's past technology transfer projects include:
a Micro-pore Bio-terrorism Detection System; a Hyperspectral Explosives Detection System for airport security;
Naval Undersea Warfare Center's Robust Automated Classification System, various Chemical Warfare Agent Detection Systems,
a Container Alert System for Port Security, a Handheld Biological Collection Device from Los Alamos Defense Laboratory,
a heads-up near-eye mounted optical display for telemedicine, and a fluorometer detection system for improvised explosive devices. Recent projects include a disease vector control system for military bases in Iraq,
a through-wall motion sensing device, and a new adjuvant to increase effectiveness of anthrax vaccines.
Dr. Galbraith specializes in bio/chem warfare agent detection and port security technologies |

Quote to Think About -
"When a civilization no longer inculcates an overriding attachment to its own survival,
it no longer survives as a civilization. In peacetime, the disintegration appears more theoretical. In wartime, the holes really begin to show."
Diana West, editorial, Washington Times, 3/30/2007.
