Mark Fuge is an Associated Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park, where he is also an affiliate faculty in the Institute for Systems Research and a member of the Maryland Robotics Center and Human-Computer Interaction Lab. His staff and students study fundamental scientific and mathematical questions behind how humans and computers can work together to design better complex engineered systems, from the molecular scale all the way to systems as large as aircraft and ships, by using tools from Applied Mathematics and Computer Science. He received his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley and his B.S./M.S. from Carnegie Mellon University. He has received an NSF CAREER award, a DARPA Young Faculty Award, a National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship, and has prior/current support from NSF, NIH, DARPA, ARPA-E, ONR, and Lockheed Martin.
