Graduate Seminar - September 13, 2021
Dr. Jeff Hill is the newest member of the ME faculty. He received his BS and MS from BYU and his PhD from Penn State. He has been working at Sandia National Laboratories for the past 10 years, designing and testing various electromechanical systems. Prior to that he was a visiting research investigator at the University of Michigan. His area of research is in impact and shock testing, with a focus on protecting electronics in harsh environments. In this talk, Dr Hill will explain current research on surviving harsh mechanical shock environments and how to test to these environments.

Faculty Spotlight: Dr. Daniel Maynes
Dr. Daniel Maynes decided to major in Mechanical Engineering through what he called “a process of elimination,” because he liked Chemistry, Math, Physics and did not like subjects like history. Maynes had narrowed down his focus to Engineering, Physics or Math before he left for his mission.
