2020 IFL Faculty Fellows
Our first Fellows cohort consists of 11 scholars and post-doctoral professors. Six of the scholars are internal Coast Guard academics. Five of the Fellows are academics from other prominent universities, who are also military veterans. All five Armed forces are represented by our initial group of 11, all listed below. They have been selected based on their body of work, and their expertise in researching leadership in the military domain. The Fellows have partnered into six research groups to conduct joint studies of leadership development at the Coast Guard Academy.

His research examines factors influencing leadership, teamwork and performance, with particular focus on cohesion, readiness, resilience and effectiveness of collectives in civilian and military organizations. He also studies diversity, inclusion and engagement in civilian and military organizations. Dr. Estrada has been editor-in-chief for the journal Military Psychology and president of the Society for Military Psychology. Dr. Estrada is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps.
