Dr Guangbo Hao elected as Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Dr Guangbo Hao, a Senior Lecturer in the School of Engineering and Architecture, has been elected as a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), for his contribution to Design of Compliant Mechanisms and their Innovative Applications.
Dr Hao is one of only 3,513 Fellows in the world (ASME elected its first Fellow in 1958). The ASME Committee of Past Presidents confers the Fellow grade of membership on worthy candidates to recognise their outstanding engineering achievements.
Dr Hao is the founder and the current leader of the UCC CoMAR research group, and of UCC Engineering Maker Lab. His current research interests focus on design of compliant mechanisms and robotics and their innovative applications such as precision manufacturing, energy harvesting and medical devices. His research works were indicated by more than 180 peer-reviewed publications and more than 20 invited talks, and by successfully securing over €0.8M research funding as PI/Co-PI/Co-I. He has supervised/co-supervised four PhD students to competition. Dr. Hao is a member of the MEMS team in Tyndall National Institute, and a visiting lecturer in University College Dublin.
Founded in 1880 as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, ASME is a not-for-profit professional organisation that enables collaboration, knowledge sharing and skill development across all engineering disciplines, while promoting the vital role of the engineer in society. ASME codes and standards, publications, conferences, continuing education, and professional development programs provide a foundation for advancing technical knowledge and a safer world.
