Request for Information

[Rungun]

Hi Biomch-l readers,

I need some information regarding doctoral programs in departments of
mechanical engineering.

I am addressing this question to this group since my interests are mainly
in the area of applying the human model to the area of robotic grippers etc.
My current thesis topic is in a bio-robotic area (an area which has some
biomechanic and robotic application).

I will be completing my Master's degree this fall. I wish to pursue a
degree in the mechanical department with specialization in any one of
the fields of robotic grippers, or microbotics. I would like to know
which schools are doing work in these fields, at the departments of
mechanical engineering.

I would be very grateful if you could let me know the professors who are
in charge of these programs, and who may have some form of funding to
support a PhD student.

Thanks in advance,

Eagerly awaiting your replies...
