Randall W. “Randy” Engle is a Professor in the School of Psychology at the Georgia Institute of Technology and an internationally recognized leader in the study of working memory, executive attention, and human intelligence. He received his B.S. from West Virginia State College in 1968 and his M.A. (1969) and Ph.D. (1973) in Experimental Psychology from The Ohio State University. After early appointments at King College and the University of South Carolina, where he rose from Assistant to full Professor and directed the doctoral program in General-Experimental Psychology, Engle joined Georgia Tech in 1995 as Chair of the School of Psychology, a role he held through 2008 while also serving as Associate Dean of the College of Sciences and founding (and later directing) the Georgia State University/Georgia Tech Center for Advanced Brain Imaging. His scholarship has fundamentally shaped contemporary theories of higher-order cognition, with landmark contributions linking individual differences in working memory and executive attention to general fluid intelligence. He has edited and authored influential volumes such as Working Memory and Human Cognition, Handbook of Understanding and Measuring Intelligence, and Cognitive Limitations in Aging and Psychopathology and his work has been cited more than 60,000 times (h-index 92). Engle’s research has been continuously supported by major extramural funding agencies, including extensive support from the Office of Naval Research and other federal sponsors, totaling over $21 million in grants. He is Editor of Current Directions in Psychological Science and has served on the editorial boards of leading journals in cognition, memory, and intelligence. His honors include election as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, membership in the National Academy of Sciences, multiple lifetime achievement awards, and prestigious teaching and mentoring awards such as the Elizabeth Hurlock Beckman Award, the APS Mentor Award, and the SEPA Mentor Award. Across his career, Engle has combined transformative scholarship with deep commitment to students, junior colleagues, and the broader scientific community, exemplifying the highest standards of academic leadership and impact.
