create solutions for typical mechanical engineering design problems like
gear trains, and sheet metal parts as well as planning for
manufacturing, assembly and disassembly. As such he has become a
world-class expert in a variety of fields such as machine design, design
theory, artificial intelligence, graph theory and numerical
optimization. He is a William J. Murray Fellow within the Cockrell
School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, a Hans
Fischer Senior Fellow at the Technical University of Munich, and a 2005
