Education

  • University of Washington MS, Mechacnial Engineering, 3.42 1994 – 1995 Activities and Societies: All focus was on my biomechanics research. see below Design and fabrication of a titanium alloy sensor using strain gauges in a Wheatstone bridge mounted on 3 radial arms. The sensor fit between the amputee's stump and socket and measured the forces and moments during ambulation. We maximized the signal output and minimized cross-talk via mechanical design and strategic location for mounting the strain gauges.
  • University of Washington Bachelors of Science, Mechanical Engineeering, 3.22 1985 – 1990
