Hunter Professor of Mechanical Design (Joined
1996)
- Ph.D., Mechanical Engineering, University of Michigan, 1988
- M.S., Mechanical Engineering, University of Michigan, 1984
- B.S., Mechanical Engineering, University of Michigan, 1983
Background
:

Research
Interests:
- Automated Assembly
Analyses of automated/robotic and manual assembly processes. Design and redesign
to facilitate assembly. Studies of part feeding and orienting systems. High
volume and high speed assembly processes, including "mass aggregate assembly,"
in which quantities of mating parts are assembled in parallel using modified
parts presentation equipment.
- Evolutionary
Design Optimization/Automation
Search and optimization techniques based upon natural evolution. Mechanical
engineering applications of genetic algorithms, a technique that encodes designs
with a chromosome representation and creates improved designs with a survival-of-the-fittest
evolutionary process.
