RESEARCH ASSISTANT, MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Chang was originally a terminal masters student who was looking for a normally paid job in industry, but was sufficiently enticed by the honeyed promises of research assistantship's and PhD program's low pay, long hour, interesting problems. As a result, he is currently working as a research assistant at the BMM-lab and will be a PhD student in the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Notre Dame. His major responsibilities include breaking things and asking questions.

His interests include computational design exploration of legged robotics systems, identifying regions of skipping gait, exploring bipedal gaits with simple models, gait transitions identification (bifurcations identification), atherectomy methodologies and techniques, manufacturing system & paradigm analysis.
