Learn from Faculty
Conducting Pioneering Research
Known for his work on space and underwater robotics, Professor Louis Whitcomb holds 15 patents. His lab works on underwater vehicles for oceanographic science missions, including the Nereus hybrid underwater vehicle that dove to the bottom of the Mariana Trench
Professor Thao (Vicky) Nguyen, creates the tools and guidelines for the creation of shape-shifting biomedical devices, including materials that expand in the body to secure tendons to bone and “smart” medical devices that function without wires or batteries.
At the intersection of engineering, biomechatronics, medicine, perception, and psychophysics, Assistant Professor Jeremy Brown develops novel haptic interfaces for upper-limb prostheses, minimally invasive surgical robotics, and rehabilitation robots.
From Hopkins MechE Masters to TESLA
The course curriculum in the Mechanical Engineering department at JHU was a perfect mix of research and application oriented. Courses like Mechanics of Solids and Materials by Professors Nguyen and Hurley, and Computational Solid Mechanics by Professor Nguyen not only reinforced fundamental theory of the fields but also provided enough basis to develop skills that helped me secure and excel in my current role at TESLA. The career fairs, and alumni events organized by Hopkins and the Life Design Lab were excellent opportunities to network, get to know the industry, and expand our professional circle.
