Doctorate of Philosophy
Major: Mechanical Engineering
Cumulative Grade Point Average: 3.7/4.0
Thesis research applies feedback control to plasma processing.
Master of Science (Sept 1996 – Dec 2000)
Major: Mechanical Engineering Cumulative Grade Point Average: 3.7/4.0Thesis research is on polishing of diamond films using a plasma generated by an electric arc. The distance between the electric arc and the diamond film is regulated with proportional-integral-derivative (PID) feedback control. Domed ceramic piezoelectric actuators position the diamond film while laser triangulation is used for precision positioning.
Specialty courses include: Measurement System Application and Design (A), Control System Design (A), and Control Laboratory (A).
Bachelor of Science (Jan 1993 - Aug 1996)
Major: Mechanical Engineering Cumulative Grade Point Average: 3.7/4.0
Specialty courses include: Mechanical Engineering Measurements (A), Principles of Automatic Control (A), System Dynamics and Vibrations (A), System Dynamics and Electromechanics (A-)
