My current research interests are micro robotics, manipulation, and
assembly.
At the Cornell Nanofabrication
Facility I am building
microfabricated actuator arrays
that implement
micro manipulation strategies.
More generally I am interested in
new devices for handling and
assembling parts,
and manipulation strategies with
programmable force vector fields.
I have also investigated
design automation for micro structures.
Earlier work at the
University of Karlsruhe,
Germany, has included the development of better
graph layout algorithms.
My thesis advisor is Professor Bruce Donald, who is one of the founders and directors of the Cornell Computer Science Robotics and Vision Laboratory. My project is in close collaboration with Professor Noel MacDonald and his research group.
A microfabricated model of
Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater.

New York Times Magazine
(March 10, 1996, p. 21) and
Wired
(4.10, October 1996, p. 41).
If I am not in my office or the Nano Lab, I may be working out in our Tae Kwon Do club, or you may find me at the Lindseth climbing wall.
