Dr. Schulz first applied his academic dynamics and control background in the aerospace industry working on “star wars” defense projects. Then he was an assistant and associate professor of mechanical engineering at North Carolina A&T State University. There he worked with Frank Pai, Ahmad Naser, Mannur Sundaresan, and Anindya Ghoshal and built a Smart Structures Laboratory focused on SHM.
Students Derke Hughes, William Martin et al developed several early SHM techniques based on scanning laser vibrometry and an artificial neural system. Mark is now an associate professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Cincinnati (UC). At UC he helped build the Smart Materials Nanotechnology Lab working with Vesselin Shanov and others. Mark also enthusiastically promotes SHM and nanoengineering by teaching smart structures, mechatronics, and nanotechnology courses, hosting lab tours, and mentoring undergraduate student research. He is a member of the UC Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology, the Foresight Institute, and the American Academy of Nanomedicine, he is managing editor of the SHM journal, and he publishes extensively
Education
Mark Schulz received the MS and Ph.D. degrees in mechanical engineering from the State University of New York at Buffalo under the advisement of Professor Daniel J. Inman.
