The ASME Board of Governors confers the Fellow grade of membership on worthy candidates to recognize their outstanding engineering achievements. Nominated by their peers, ASME Fellows have had 10 or more years of active practice and at least 10 years of continuous active corporate membership in ASME.
Hsiao-Wecksler joined the department as an assistant professor in 2002 and became an associate professor in 2009. She holds the mechanical engineering degrees of Ph.D. from the University of California-Berkeley, M.S. from Rochester Institute of Technology, and B.S. from Cornell University.
Her research program uses methods from control theory, movement analysis, design, and dynamic systems modeling to investigate issues related to musculoskeletal biomechanics and rehabilitation engineering. In particular, her research focuses on investigating and improving movement control and function through two main areas: locomotion biomechanics and assistive device development. Her research program seeks to improve quality of life by improving mobility.
