 Lung-Wen Tsai
Dr. Lung-Wen Tsai received his B.S. degree from the National Taiwan University in 1967, M.S. degree from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 1970, and Ph.D. degree from Stanford University in 1973. He comes to the University of California, Riverside from the University of Maryland where he established a nationally recognized research and education program in mechanisms and machine design, automotive engineering, robot manipulators, and walking machines. RESEARCH INTERESTS Dr. Tsai's research interests include kinematics and dynamics of mechanisms, machine design, design theory and design automation, automotive engineering, robot manipulators, MEMS and other intelligent servomechanisms.
