Engineering Profs' Robotics and Composite Materials Research Win $1M in Funding
Edwin L. Aguirre Two researchers from the Department of Mechanical Engineering â Asst. Profs. Yan Gu and Marianna Maiaru â were recognized by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. Air Force, respectively, with faculty early career development grants totaling $1,015,000. The funding will help advance research on robot walking and the process modeling of composite materials. Gu received a five-year NSF CAREER grant, worth nearly $565,000, for research that would develop new methods in modeling, analyzing and controlling the movement of legged robots to keep them stable an...
