Interestested Students:

Thank you for your interest in the Biomorphic Robotics Lab!

First, you should know that students pursuing degrees in Mechanical, Electrical and Computer Engineering (and some other areas) may be invited to join this lab. Second, please read below for your applicable level of education. I hope to hear from you soon.


Postdoctoral Researchers

I currently do not have postdoctoral positions open, but would be willing to co-write a proposal with you. If you have a great idea and have identified a potential funding source, please contact me by email to discuss this option further.


Doctoral Students:

I am looking to write proposals with you that will fund your graduate work. Please develop an interesting idea for the application of biological inspiration to robotic systems. Write a 1-2 page summary of this project and send to me by email. I will also entertain ideas in the area of prosthetics. Include in this write-up a brief description of your previous research and/or coursework that qualifies you for this project. If you do not hear back from me in one week, send it again. Also attach a C.V. that includes your Grade Point Average.


Masters Students:

Please write a 1-2 page description of an extension to a current lab project. Please review recent papers (click on "Publications") to get a feel for what we have already done and currently pursuing. Include in this write-up a brief description of your previous research and/or coursework that qualifies you to do this work. Send this to me by email, and include a resume/C.V. with your current Grade Point Average.


Undergraduate Students:

Please send an email describing skills you have that may be useful in a robotics laboratory. These may include programming, CAD hardware design, machining, robotics coursework, prior robotics projects, summer job at a zoo, or others. Include your major, classification and expected graduation date along with your current Grade Point Average.
