The conjunction of artificial intelligence and
human-computer interaction; the technical
challenges of building intelligent interfaces;
the challenges of evaluating the effect and
utility of these interfaces, and how these
interfaces might provide a platform on which
to enrich computer science education. Ph.D., 2004, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Most recently: Associate Professor of Computer Science, Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, Calif. |
|
Carlos F. Coimbra, Associate Professor Aerospace Engineering |
|
 |
Solar energy, intelligent energy systems,
stochastic modeling and forecasting,
fractional and variable order methods,
evolutionary methods, and multiphase flows/
unsteady flow phenomena.
Ph.D., 1998, University of California, Irvine Most recently: Associate Professor and founding Chairman of the Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics graduate program at UC Merced |

Todd Coleman, Associate Professor Bioengineering |
|
 |
A primary goal is to use tools from
information theory, neuroscience, machine
learning and bioelectronics to understand, and
control, interacting systems with biological
and computer parts. Projects include
development of multi-functional, flexible bioelectronics
as well as brain-machine interface
research.
Ph.D., 2005, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Most recently: Assistant Professor, Departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Neuroscience, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign |
|
Christian Metallo, Associate Professor Bioengineering |
|
 |
Systems biology approaches to the study of
metabolic pathways in mammalian cells, with
a focus on understanding metabolic regulation
in cancer cells and stem cells. Goals include
the identification of therapeutic targets for
intervention in cancer and other diseases.
Ph.D., 2008, University of Wisconsin- Madison Most recently: Postdoctoral Fellow, Chemical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology |
|
Gilberto Mosqueda, Associate Professor Structural Engineering |
|
 |
Structural dynamics and earthquake
engineering; experimental evaluation
of large-scale structural systems under
extreme loads using hybrid simulation;
seismic fragility of nonstructural
components and building content, seismic
isolation and energy dissipation devices.
Ph.D., 2003, University of California, Berkeley Most recently: Assistant Professor, Dept. of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, State U. of New York at Buffalo |
|
Geno Pawlak, Associate Professor Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering |
|
 |
Environmental fluid mechanics and coastal
hydrodynamics, fluid flow over complex
boundaries, generation and interaction of
vortical structure in oscillatory flow across
rough boundaries, near-shore water quality
and its relation to physical forcing, coastal
mixing processes, stratified flows and basic
fluid dynamics.
Ph.D., 1997, University of California, San Diego Most recently: Associate Professor and Director, Kilo Nalu Coastal Observatory, University of Hawaii at Manoa |
