Jaime
A. Camelio
Jaime A. Camelio joins the faculty of the Department of Mechanical
Engineering-Engineering Mechanics as an assistant professor.
He comes to Michigan Tech from Farmington Hills, Mich.
He
holds a master's in industrial and operations engineering and a
PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan. He
also holds a master's in mechanical engineering and a BS in Mechanical
and Industrial Engineering from the Pontificia Universidad Catolica
de Chile.
Camelio's
teaching interests include statics and dynamics, mechanical design,
statistical quality control, manufacturing engineering, modeling
of manufacturing processes, design optimization, metal formation
and design analysis of manufacturing systems. His research interests
include design and manufacturing with emphasis on manufacturing
systems, quality improvement of manufacturing processes, robust
and optimal design focusing on product/process interactions, virtual
manufacturing, virtual design and design for manufacturability and
disassembly.
He
has experience as an assistant research scientist, graduate student
instructor and graduate research assistant at the University of
Michigan in Ann Arbor; as a visiting scholar at Chamlers University
of Technology in Sweden; and as a full-time instructor for the Pontificia
Universidad Catolica de Chile. Camelio has coauthored numerous papers
appearing in ASME Transactions, Journal of Mechanical Design, ASME
Journal of Manufacturing Science and Engineering, Proceedings of
the 2002 ASME Design Engineering Technical Conference and the Proceedings
of the 2003 ASME International Mechanical Engineering Conference
and Exposition.
Camelio
has earned the College of Engineering International Merit Scholarship,
the Chilean Government Scholarship, the Best Student in Mechanical
Engineering Award from el Colegio de Ingenieros de Chile and the
2001 Best Paper Award from the ASME Design Engineering Technical
Conference. He is a member of the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers, the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, the Society of
Automotive Engineers and the American Society for Engineering Education.
He
has worked as a consultant for A. T. Kearny Inc. and as an internal
consultant for General Motors.
Spandan
Maiti
Spandan Maiti joins the faculty of the Department of Mechanical
Engineering-Engineering Mechanics as an assistant professor.
He comes to Michigan Tech from the University of Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign.
Maiti
holds a PhD from the University of Illinois. His areas of research
interest include predictive modeling and large-scale simulation
of deformation and failure of advanced structural materials such
as nano-composites and high-toughness ceramics, micro- and nano-mechanical
analysis of materials in multi-physics environments, multi-scale
modeling of deformation of materials and computational models for
macroscopic failure.
His
undergraduate-level teaching interests include strength of materials,
mechanics of materials, finite element method, theory of elasticity,
numerical methods and introductory computational solid mechanics.
His graduate-level teaching interests include computational non-linear
solid mechanics, fracture mechanics, mathematical methods applied
to solid mechanics, dynamic properties of materials and micromechanical
modeling of techniques of deformation and failure.
Maiti
has published numerous papers in journals such as Engineering Fracture
Mechanics, the Journal of Mechanics and Physics of Solids, CMES
Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Acta Materialia,
Proceedings of ICF 11, Proceedings of 8th International Symposia
of Fracture Mechanics of Ceramics and Proceedings of ICF 10.
