معرفی
Shannon J. Timpe serves as Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Bradley University's Caterpillar College of Engineering & Technology since 2011. His teaching encompasses core mechanical systems courses and advanced topics in surface science and microelectronics.
Education:
- Ph.D., Mechanical Engineering, University of California at Berkeley
- M.S., Mechanical Engineering, University of California at Berkeley
- B.S., Mechanical Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
His research centers on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), tribology, and multiscale biosensors. Key areas include surface degradation in MEMS, nanotribology, biosensor development for drug discovery, and microfabrication. His work addresses adhesion, wear, and friction at micro/nano scales.
Publications from 2012-2013 reveal a focus on MEMS reliability, tribological coatings, and biosensors in viscous media. Studies range from galvanic corrosion effects to high-throughput tribometry, demonstrating interdisciplinary approaches bridging mechanical engineering, materials science, and bioengineering.
Service contributions include founding the Nanoscale Science and Technology Research Group, organizing literature excursions, and participating in graduate curriculum development.
