Presidential Young Investigator Award

这是一位新的电气工程助理教授提出的PYI申请。汉纳福德博士于1985年在加州大学伯克利分校获得博士学位，1989年之前一直受雇于加州理工大学喷气推进实验室。他在人类运动控制领域发表了许多著作。他的计划是继续他的研究，以更好地了解人类如何控制他们的肢体，但他也将越来越多地参与机器人研究。他的计划是利用对自然马达系统的理解来设计机器人机械手。

This is a PYI application from a new Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering. Dr. Hannaford received his Ph.D. from UC-Berkeley in 1985, and was employed by the JPL at Cal Tech until 1989. He has numerous publications in the area of human motor control. His plan is to continue his research to better understand how humans control their limbs, but he will be increasingly involved in robotics research as well. His plan is to use the understanding of the natural motor system to design robotic manipulators.
