Ph.D. Student in Autonomous Insect Robotics Lab Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Washington Lab: Mech. Eng. Bldg. (MEB) Room 113 Seattle, WA 98195 jmjames@uw.edu

About me I am a PhD. student in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington in the Autonomous Insect Robotics (AIR) Laboratory advised by Prof. Sawyer Fuller. I research the design and fabrication of power solutions for insect scale robots. Prior to admission into the M.E Ph.D. program at the University of Washington, I worked aboard commercial ships and obtained a B.S. in mechanical engineering and a USCG merchant marine engineering license at the California Maritime Academy.
