Satish T. S. Bukkapatnam

Satish T. S. Bukkapatanam received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in industrial and manufacturing engineering from Pennsylvania State University, State College, PA, USA, in 1994 and 1997, respectively. He is currently the Rockwell International Professor with the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, USA, where he has been selected as the Fulbright-Tocqueville Distinguished Chair and is also the Director of the Texas A&M Engineering Experimentation Station (TEES) Institute for Manufacturing Systems. His research in smart manufacturing addresses the harnessing of high-resolution nonlinear dynamic information, especially from wireless microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors, to improve the monitoring and prognostics, mainly of ultraprecision and nanomanufacturing processes and machines, and wearable sensors for cardiorespiratory processes. His research has led to over 160 articles in journals and conference proceedings. Dr. Bukkapatanam is a Fellow of the Institute for Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE) and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME).
