Home Research Teaching Publications Awards Robert D. Gregg, IV Assistant Professor Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Bioengineering University of Texas at Dallas I received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering and computer sciences from the University of California, Berkeley in 2006 and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2007 and 2010, respectively. I am an Assistant Professor in the Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Bioengineering at the University of Texas at Dallas. I was previously a Research Scientist at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago and an Engineering into Medicine Fellow at Northwestern University. My research concerns the control mechanisms of human locomotion with application to both wearable and autonomous robots. Curriculum Vitae If you would like to inquire about graduate research assistantships or postdoctoral fellowships for the Fall 2013 term at UT Dallas, contact me with a cover letter, resume/CV, and references. How to write a cover letter. Be exciting, concise, and realistic. Hit these key points in three to four paragraphs: 1. For what position are you applying? Who are you? What is your mission statement? 2. What are you going to do and why is this the perfect place to do it? 3. Why are you the right person to do it? 4. Closing formalities & reference info. Never go beyond one page! News 5/16/13: I have moved to the University of Texas at Dallas, new webpage coming soon! 4/24/13: New papers on lower-limb prosthetic control to appear in the IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 2013 American Control Conf., and 2013 Int. Conf. on Rehabilitation Robotics. 9/05/12: I am climbing the Sears/Willis Tower to raise funds for the patients of RIC. See my fundraising page. 7/26/12: Check out my recent interview with Nature! 5/18/12: Many thanks to the Burroughs Wellcome Fund for supporting my research vision with a Career Award at the Scientific Interface! Projects
	Control of Robot-Assisted Walking		Geometric Control of 3D Dynamic Walking
	Mechanics of Gait Asymmetry		Planning with Asymptotically Stable Motion Primitives
	Symposium on Control and Modeling of Biomedical Systems, 2010, technical co-sponsorship from IEEE Control Systems Society and ASME Dynamic Systems and Control Division.
Research Interests Design and control of lower-limb prostheses and orthoses Neural mechanisms of human locomotion Modeling and control of dynamic walking Nonlinear control, including energy-, passivity-, and symmetry-based methods Personal Interests Outside of the office, I can often be found on the ice playing in the local hockey leagues. I also enjoy watching Cal football, Angels baseball, and Ducks hockey whenever they are televised in the midwest. However, most of my time is now dedicated to a dog named Oskee.
