J. W. Ullmann Center for Manufacturing Systems & Robotics

The laboratory studies the nonlinear dynamics and control of locomotion systems, with applications to biological motility and bio-medical applications. The research will focus on three main programs: Dynamics and control of micro-swimmers: The motion of microorganisms, bacteria and sperm cells... Read More

We study the biomechanical interface between the human body and biomedical devices such as prosthetics and orthotics. Our main goal is to develop and optimize patient-specific devices in order to improve patient comfort, health, and function. To achieve this, we... Read More

The CAD and LCE laboratory activities focus on teaching and research in the expanding field of computerized design. The teaching activities include courses in concepts and methods in CAD systems, advanced CAD methods and computational geometry, as well as annual... Read More

Assistive technologies enable physically challenged people to manage independently in a variety of environments, for example, enabling elderly people to remain in their own homes instead of moving to nursing homes, and make it easier and safer for them to... Read More

The Laboratory investigates Dynamics and vibrations in mechanical systems. Areas of research: Vibration, Ultrasonic vibration, acoustic levitation, rotating structure dynamics, model identification, parametric excitation and nonlinear... Read More

Info-gap theory is a methodology for supporting model-based decisions under severe uncertainty. An info-gap is a disparity between what is known, and what needs to be known in order to make a comprehensive and reliable decision. An info-gap is resolved... Read More

The Manufacturing Systems Laboratory conducts research in the fabrication and characterization of nanostructures. Current research activities include investigations in: electrospinning of functionalized nanostructures, thermo-mechanical properties of nanostructures, development of vascular bed and... Read More
