Andrew Petruska Andrew earned a B.S. in Physics and a B.S./M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University. Prior to coming to the University of Utah he spent four years in the defense industry working on ordnance and control systems for solid rocket motors. At the University of Utah he was a recipient of an NSF IGERT Traineeship, and conducted graduate research in the Telerobotics Lab, where his research involved magnetic manipulation using controllable dipole sources. Andrew successfully defended his Ph.D. in Spring 2014. In Summer 2014 he joined Brad Nelson's group at ETH Zurich as a postdoctoral researcher. In 2016, he joined the faculty of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines.
