We conduct interdisciplinary research in the areas of man-machine interfaces (in particular haptics), control systems, mechatronics, robotics, biomechanics, physics-based modeling and simulation, 3D computer graphics, and virtual reality technology. Our group consists of students with mixed educational backgrounds. M.S. and Ph.D. students who are interested in control systems, mechatronics, robotics, nano/micro systems, biomechanics, and biomedical engineering are encouraged to apply through the Mechanical Engineering program. M.S. and Ph.D. students who are interested in human-computer interaction, computer graphics, robotic motion planning, physics-based modeling and simulation, and virtual reality technology are encouraged to apply through the Computational Sciences and Engineering program (learn more about the application procedure). Prospective students are always welcome to visit our laboratory to learn more about our research.
