Dr. Hanna's research
laboratory at Oakland University engages top graduate and undergraduate
researchers in theoretical and experimental research. This research
includes mixed-mode systems design, artificial intelligence and signal
processing, biosensors and nano-imaging. Of particular interest are
researching techniques for developing high-speed, precision scan probe
microscopy (SPM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) processing systems using FPGAs.
The research conducted in Dr. Hanna's lab advances the state of the art
in these individual areas while elegantly combining new developments to
create embedded systems that push the frontier in SPM nano-imaging
towards new applications. |

Terry Redman is a Ph.D. student in Systems Engineering at Oakland
University. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from
Grand Valley State University in December of 1997. In 2005, he completed a
Master of Science in Computer Science and Engineering at Oakland University.
His primary research interests include BioMEMS, artificial intelligence,
and embedded systems with a growing interest in signal processing. Terry spent most of his life on the west side of Michigan before moving to the Rochester area in 1998. He has worked for Compuware since 1999 and has been contracted to an automotive company since 2002. His extra-curricular activities include golf, darts, fantasy football, and playing poker. He also enjoys just hanging out at home with his wife. They are expecting their first child in October! |

Andrew May is a Ph.D. Student and teaching assistant in Computer Engineering
at Oakland University. He graduated from Purdue University in May 2004,
with a BS in Computer Engineering. In December 2008, he graduated from
Oakland University with an MS in Engineering Management with a focus on
Systems Engineering. His research interests are in Embedded Systems, with a
focus on bio-tech and smart car communications.
Andrew spent 3 summers as an intern for General Motors before being hired as a Manufacturing Engineer in 2004. Andrew held the position of Plant Floor Systems Subject Matter Expert for Andon, Error-Proofing, and Plant Floor Networking. Andrew also held the position of Project Manager and onsite Technical Lead for GM PFS during the new plant construction in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. In 2008 Andrew returned to the University full time to pursue his doctoral degree. Andrew enjoys spending time with his Family and Girlfriend, especially outside enjoying the weather either on the family boat or just in the back yard. Andrew has been a lifelong Michigan Football fan and uses the family’s season tickets whenever possible. |

Chia-Yang is a Ph.D. student in
Systems Engineering at Oakland University. He earned his bachelors degree in Computer Engineering at the University of Washington,
Seattle. His interests include mobile devices, consumer electronics, hardware for processing multimedia, multi-sensor data fusion, ubiquitous or distributed computing, and
web middleware. Chia-yang came to the US from Taiwan with his
parents in 1997, when they were finishing their doctoral degrees at the same
university; it was interesting running into them on campus. Before starting graduate school, he participated in a joint research project between the CSE department and a cell-biology research institute at Washington. His job was to help implement a ubiquitous application that allowed biologists to capture and plan experiment-flow graphically and to share it over the network. Chia-yang also enjoys listening to soft or classical music, jogging, occasional travel, and just being a couch potato. |
