Associate Professor Shen, a recipient of a National Science Foundation CAREER Award, is director of the Lab for Bioinstrumentation and Automation in the Department of Electrical and Biomedical Engineering at his University. He leads the advanced manufacturing sector of the University's Nevada Advanced Autonomous Systems Innovation Center.
He conducts research in the areas of bioinstrumentation and automation, biomechatronics/robotics, sensors and actuators, and tactile/haptic interfaces. Shen has published more than 100 research papers in these fields. His research has been supported by federal agencies such as the National Science Foundation and NASA.
"This is a major nationally competitive project that will result in cutting-edge research," Manos Maragakis, dean of the College of Engineering, said. "It is a big success for Dr. Shen and a clear evidence of the continuous growth of our biomedical engineering and autonomous systems programs, which have become major areas of focus for the College of Engineering."
