HyunJoo Oh defends PhD dissertation; accepts position at Georgia Tech

Oct. 9, 2018

On Aug. 31, ATLAS doctoral student HyunJoo Oh successfully defended her dissertation, 鈥淐omputational Design Tools and Techniques for Paper Mechatronics,鈥� which is focused on design tools and techniques for combining mechanical, electrical and computational components with paper crafting. The tools enable young learners and those who lack a background in mechanical engineering to design and build mechanical toys from paper and other everyday objects.
