2013

Lin Fan and Dan Potter published an article in RSI and Lin won the SAIC undergraduate student paper competition as a result! Check out the paper in Review of Scientific Instruments.

Dr. Sulchek was recognized with the “2012 CETL/BP Junior Faculty Teaching Excellence Award“. Visit our classes, including MEMS Fabrication and Capstone, and checkout some of our outreach efforts in conjunction with Dunwoody High School and Project Impact.

Dr. Sulchek was recognized with the “2012 Lockheed Inspirational Young Faculty Award” and got to fulfill a childhood desire to visit Lockheed. Saw the C130 line, with the new RR engines with 6 composite propeller blades, and the F35 midsection line. We are happy that students from Capstone ME4182 can contribute to some of these projects!

Craig Forest and I were able to visit the $1Billion dollar Kia Manufacturing Plant in West Point, Ga. We rode around on golf carts and witnessed massive presses stamp out steel body parts, giant robots whirl around metal and zap it from all sides, and lines of men and women assembling the more delicate parts the rate of 1 car every 52 seconds. A wonderful treat.

Jen successfully defends her thesis and marks the first student to graduate from the group. Nicely done, Jen!

Article in the Whistle discussing undergraduate research at Georgia Tech.

Congrats to my Capstone (ME4182) teams!

3 of which were featured in the top 5 in the Spring Expo, team RoboWrapper, which was featured on CNET, and team MDAP which won it all.

Thumbs up to Jen, Kipp, and Dan for their recent publication in Langmuir describing their creation a new form of Janus particle.

Visit Medtronic in Puerto Rico

After presenting at the ASME Summer Bioengineering Conference,  we visited a manufacturing plant of Medtronic, including the clean room where they make the implantable neuropump. Very cool!
