PHD STUDENTS
Jeff Yoo
He received a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree
from the University of Washington in 2005 with an emphasis in Mechatronics, and in 2007 obtained a Masters of Science and Mechanical
Engineering from the University of Washington with an emphasis in
control theory. He is currently pursuing his Ph.D.research in the area

same time. He joined our research group in Summer 2007.
PREVIOUS PHD STUDENTS
Garrett Clayton
Joined as Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering
Department, Villanova University (Summer 2008)
He received a Bachelor of Science
in Mechanical Engineering from Seattle University in 2001 and a Master
of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Washington
in 2003. He obtained the Ph.D. degree at the University of
