James Schaaf

James Schaaf is a Continuing Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, Davis. His research focuses on creative and mechanical design, dynamics, kinematic geometry, and applied differential geometry. He has contributed to both mechanical engineering and biomechanics fields through publications spanning from 1988 to 1998.

His work includes studies on geometric continuity of surfaces, gait analysis in clinical populations, and kinematic analysis of mechanical systems. Though no formal awards or grants are listed, his publications demonstrate sustained engagement with applied geometry and mechanical systems.
