Compton will be working with Chris and Utsav on mechatronics related activities on an artificial hand. We look forward to his accomplishments.
The lab would like to welcome Phillip Zachary James, who joined in Spring 2016 as a Graduate Research Assistant.
Zach is a material science student who will be researching additive manufactring (3D printing) of βTCP for biomedical scaffold fabrication. We look forward to his accomplishments.
The lab would like to welcome Saul Gutierrez who joined in Spring 2016 as an UG assistant under the McNair Scholars program.
Saul will be working with Chris and Utsav on mechatronics and more specifically on software development related to Human Robot Interaction employing an artificial hand. We look forward to his accomplishments.

Shahid Faizee ME MS Defense (Dec. 2015)
Shahid succesfully defended his master’s thesis work on the development and characterization of the photopolymerization module of the multi-module 3D BioPrinter.
Congratulations and wishes for continued success!
Tushar Saini ME MS Defense (Dec. 2015)
Tushar succesfully defended his master’s thesis on additive manufacturing methodologies for multiprocess material scenarios. Tushar decided to continue his studies towards a doctoral degree at UTA on the same subject.
Congratulations and we look forward to your continue success and contributions to the field of additive manufacturing aka 3D Printing!
