Visiting Scholars from Delft work in CMR Lab
Two visiting scholars from the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands recently visited BYU to conduct research on compliant mechanisms with the CMR. Nima Tolou and Pieter Pluimers began their study in September 2011 and returned in January 2012 and March 2012, respectively. Their research involved ground-breaking work in statically balanced compliant mechanisms, including microsystems fabricated using a carbon nanotube fabrication process.

Pierre Larochelle visits the BYU CMR
As part of the Mechanical Engineering Graduate Seminar Lectures, Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the Florida Institute of Technology, Dr. Pierre Larochelle presented his research in the synthesis and analysis of spherical and spatial robotic mechanical systems for motion generated tasks. Visiting BYU campus September 30th, he discussed his recent results and challenges in using computers to engineer robotic mechanical systems. His discussion involved two specific challenges that, if overcome, could transform the design of robotic mechanical systems.

Student Receives Prestigious Fellowship
Three BYU Mechanical Engineering students have been awarded the National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship. Among the awardees was Greg Teichert, a member of the BioMEMs research group. He received the prestigious awards after a rigorous selection process, and will benefit from a three-year annual stipend, a generous cost of education allowance for tuition and fees, and an international travel allowance, as well as the freedom to conduct their own research at any accredited institution of graduate education he chooses.
