Transcript | Karolos Grigoriadis from the Department of Mechanical Engineering in the College of Engineering knows no boundaries. Not only does he develop and teach control systems and designs to undergraduate and graduate students, he also does research in mechanical and aerospace engineering. He recently won the University Excellence in Research and Scholarship Award for Assistant Professors and the Bill D. Cook Scholar Award. Not only does he have those two distinguished awards, he has consecutively won Professor of the Year In Mechanical Engineering for 1990 and 1997. His ongoing research includes control of systems, such as the mechanics that control the pedals In an automobile. He also has conducted research with NASA involving aerospace systems. But Grigoriadis said he doesn't favor his research over teaching, or vice versa. "I like both research and teaching. I like to focus on both because there are links between the two,** Grigoriadis said. Grigoriadis has been at the University of Houston for three and a half years. Born in Athens, Greece, he came to the United States in 1988 after receiving his Bachelor's of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the National Technical University in Greece. He comes to University of Houston from Purdue University, where he received his Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Astronautics. From someone who knows no boundaries, the sky is the only limit. |
