I’m originally from Dearborn, Michigan and attended the University of Michigain in Mechanical Engineering for my undergrad. I also attended UofM for my Masters in Materials Science and Engineering working for Professor Amit Ghosh in the area of development of high temperature turbine engine materials. In 1995, I moved to Cali. to take a job with Lockheed Martin Space Systems working mainly in the sattelite structures and mechanisms group, specializing in design of composite structures. While in the SF Bay Area, I started the Ph.D. program at Stanford in Mechanical Engineering and in 2000 took a leave of absense to pursue my Ph.D. full time.
During my Ph.D., I worked in Dr. Mark Cutkosky’s Biomimetics and Dexterous Manipulation Lab (BDML) in the area of haptics and tactile sensing & feedback. After graduating in the summer of 2003, I began a postdoc position on the DARPA RiSE program working on bio-inspired climbing robots (also in the BDML).
I moved to Salt Lake City in May of 2005 to take a faculty position in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Utah. I currently teach ME4000 — Senior Design and in the future will be developing courses in haptics, smart materials, and graduate mechatronics. My current research interests include: haptics, sensing, tactile feedback, climbing robots, embedded mechatronic systems (novel manufacturing combined with mechatronics), and medical robotics. You can visit my lab, the Haptics and embeddd Mechatronics Lab, for more information.
Here’s a few pictures of my senior design project?. My group at the University of Michigan built a recumbent bicycle.
