| Dr. Linda Schmidt | Director |
 |
Dr. Linda Schmidt is an
Assistant Professor in the Department
of Mechanical Engineering. She completed her doctorate in
Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie
Mellon University and developed a grammar-based, generate and optimize
approach to mechanical design. Her B.S. and M.S. degrees were
granted by Iowa State University for work in Industrial Engineering with a
specialization in queuing theory, the theory of waiting in lines.
Her homepage is located here and can be contacted at lschmidt@eng.umd.edu. |
| Her research interests include computational design, design optimization, and developing formal methods for design. On the educational side of the academic world, her current interests include the development of student project team training materials to build more effective engineering student project teams. She has thus far supervised four students to their Master of Science degrees. |
