Jeff Andrew Hawks is renowned for his expertise in developing specialized robotic arms for welding and material handling, as well as his skill in crafting advanced mechatronic devices to improve the fabrication process, his work is a testament to his inventive spirit. A particularly significant project under his direction is the development of a hip sled prototype designed to assist individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), which has sparked considerable excitement within the scientific community. In the academic arena, Jeff holds a Ph.D. and a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering. These credentials underpin a career rich in scholarly achievements, including a plethora of significant journal publications, book chapters, and patents. His passion for education is evident from his tenure teaching the senior capstone design course at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Mechanical and Materials Engineering Department. Additionally, he has been instrumental in launching an interdisciplinary course in biomechanics, benefiting a diverse group of junior, senior, and graduate students. His deep-seated interest in biomechanics and sports sciences has led him to conduct extensive research in these areas, focusing mainly on the design of assistive devices for rehabilitation. This pursuit has involved substantial collaborations with the Nebraska Biomechanics Core Facility at the University of Nebraska-Omaha and the Nebraska Athletic Performance Laboratory at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. In 2013, he played a crucial role on the host planning committee for the American Society of Biomechanics conference in Omaha, NE. In addition to his professional pursuits, Hawks is also committed to charitable work, especially in aiding MS patients. He holds a board position at MS Forward, a nationally recognized gym catering to individuals with neurological conditions. Here, he leverages his professional acumen and network to contribute significantly to the non-profit's rehabilitation programs. Beyond MS Forward, he extends his philanthropic efforts to Christian Heritage. A notable highlight in Jeff Hawks's career is his tenure at the Army Research Laboratories. During this period, he managed a spectrum of innovative projects in areas such as autonomous cooperative robot systems, computer vision, miniature surgical robotics, wheeled robotics, and autonomous sensor platforms. These accomplishments not only showcase his dedication to pioneering advancements in technology but also his commitment to lifelong learning and innovation.
