| 3. Dr. Wei Yu B.S., M.S., Fudan University Ph.D. Shanghai Jiaotong University Ph.D., University of Iowa, 2001 (Email: ywei@ccad.uiowa.edu) Research Interests: Yu Wei is developing general formulations for optimally placing robot arms in a working environment and using theories from swept volume analysis. |
 |
| 4. Jingzhou Yang, PhD expected 2002 jyang@engineering.uiowa.edu Research Interests: Yang has developed new formulations for swept volumes of NURBS with applications to human limb workspace, robotics, and ergonomics. He is well published and has recently implemented these formulations in Mathematica and towards haptic (force feedback) applications. |
