Carnegie Mellon University and Ansys announced that Professor Rebecca Taylor has been appointed to the inaugural Ansys Career Development Chair in Engineering. The title recognizes engineering faculty at CMU who conduct education and research in fields related to Ansys or integrate Ansys solutions into research projects and curricula.
Professor Taylor is a faculty member in mechanical engineering with courtesy appointments in biomedical engineering, and electrical and computer engineering. Her research combines microfabrication and nanofabrication to create hybrid top-down, bottom-up fabricated sensors and actuators. In addition, she investigates the use of DNA structures as engineering material. She will use Ansys LS-DYNA to teach fundamental mechanics concepts, how to simulate micro and nanoscale structures in fluids, and methods for self-assembly. Students will employ…
