Faculty
Semih 脟al
Assistant Professor
Semih 脟al, Ph.D. received his Bachelor's degree from Sam Houston State University. After completing his undergraduate studies, he worked in the industry in Istanbul, Turkey, for 1.5 years. He then moved to Youngstown, Ohio, where he earned his Master's degree from Youngstown State University. Dr. 脟al completed his Ph.D. at Texas Tech University, specializing in wireless communication networks, energy-efficient algorithms, and federated learning for IoT and drone networks.
Michael Hudoba
Associate Professor & Department Chair, Faculty Trustee
Michael Hudoba, Ph. D., moved from Canfield, Ohio in 2005 to begin his undergraduate career in Mechanical Engineering at The Ohio State University. He graduated magna cum laude and began working towards his master鈥檚 degree in 2009 with a focus of user-centered product design. In 2011, he was asked to be Carlos Castro鈥檚 first graduate student in the Nanoengineering and Biodesign Lab at OSU where his researched focused on the development, characterization and implementation of DNA based nanomachines to measure鈥�
Daniel Mendelsohn
Professor
Dr. Mendelsohn grew up in the Cleveland area and attended Boston University and did his graduate work at Northwestern University. After a stint as a research scientist for Halliburton Services he was a professor in the Departments of Engineering Mechanics and Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at The Ohio State University from 1982 until his retirement from OSU in 2017. His research interests are in wave propagation, vibrations and fracture mechanics of solids, and he also served as Undergraduate Studies Chair鈥�
Laine Schrewe
Assistant Professor
Laine Schrewe, Ph.D., received her Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering from the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in 2004 and her Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin - Madison in 2006. Her graduate school research focused on simulating injector fuel spray and combustion in large bore diesel engines and inspired her to pursue a career in engine design. She spent nine years as a practicing engine design engineer for Honda鈥�
Jeff Sheen
Visiting Assistant Professor
Jeffrey Sheen, Ph.D., began his undergraduate career as an Electrical and Computer Engineering major at Wayne State University in Detroit, MI. Upon taking his first Physics class, he fell in love with the fundamental nature of the core science, and immediately switched his major. He continued at WSU for his graduate career as one of the first graduate students in the school鈥檚 High Energy Nuclear Physics Program in 1992. There, his research focused on high energy heavy ion collisions as鈥�
David Stucki
Senior Instructor
David J. Stucki received a B.S. in Mathematics from Wheaton College (IL), and an M.S. in Computer Science from The Ohio State University, where he also completed course work for a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence. Complexities of life prevented him from completing a dissertation, but landed him in a full time faculty position at 9i果冻制作厂in 1996, where he has enjoyed teaching a mixture of Computer Science, Mathematics, and INST/FYS courses. While at 9i果冻制作厂his research interests have expanded into鈥�
Uwe Trittmann
Professor
Dr. Trittmann is a theoretical particle physicist. After receiving his doctorate from the University of Heidelberg in Germany, he did post-doctoral research at the Weizmann Institute in Israel and at the Ohio State University. His research focuses on the properties of lower-dimensional quantum field theories. Often he uses numerical methods to obtain results concerning the energies (masses) of bound states of fundamental particles. Dr. Trittmann teaches the gamut of physics offerings, from the introductory sequency to advanced topics, and the INST astronomy course. He is鈥�
Barry Wittman
Associate Professor
Barry Wittman, Ph.D., received his Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Morehouse College in 2001 and his M.S. and Ph.D. from Purdue University in 2005 and 2008, respectively. His graduate research focused on finding constant-factor approximation algorithms for NP-hard routing and planning problems. Before joining the faculty at 9i果冻制作厂in 2018, he was an Assistant and later an Associate Professor at Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania. While working as a professor, his research interests have shifted to computer science education鈥�
