Stefan Wolpert is pursuing his Bachelor of Science degree in electrical and computer engineering at Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering in Needham, MA. At Olin, he takes a breadth of software and hardware courses and works on various engineering projects.

In the future, Stefan plans to pursue a graduate degree in systems engineering. This summer he will be researching mobile robotic manipulators at the University of Kaiserslautern in Germany. Last summer he interned in the engineering department at Lehigh Cement and prior to that ran his own local computer repair business.

Stefan is an avid skier and pianist.

Mediocrity in the Design Process: Marinara sauce gone wrong.

An end user should not be using a mediocre product, and let me explain how marinara sauce relates. Before super-mega-markets, I would imagine markets had fewer varieties of many products. Those products were likely produced to try to please as many customers’ taste buds as possible. Let me presume that customers only had different preferences between texture and spice of sauces. The... More

Systems Engineering is not Mechatronics

What is the role of a systems engineer? A systems engineer ensures a company’s product is going to function within cost, specification, while satisfying the user, making the trade off decisions between features, solving problems without an obvious source, and of course much more. An exemplary systems engineer has significant education and experience, leadership, good communication... More

Mechatronics Improves and Speeds Up fMRI Scans

The inside of an MRI cavity is precisious real estate, why would you want to share this potentially closterphobic space with a robot? In a recent release of the IEEE/ASME Transactions on Mechatronics, one article particularly caught my attention. Functional MRI scans (fMRI) are a type of brain activity scan where an image of brain activity, based on blood flow, is captured every couple... More

A Mechatronic and Medical Marvel: Heavy Ions Curing Cancer at GSI

The Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung mbH (GSI), or Association for Heavy Ion Research, is a research facility where scientific researchers work with heavy ions for a wide range of experiments to explore the structure of matter. GSI is a particle accelerator facility where ions are accelerated up to 90% the speed of light. Of the accomplishments at GSI, atoms of atomic number 107... More

Error? Fixing Code and Embedded Hardware the Easy Way

You’ve worked all day on implementing a complicated function and it’s time to see whether it works. You compile the C++ code and program the memory on the microcontroller. Dead. Nothing happens. What to do? First, obviously look for any compiler warnings, such as infinite loops, etc., but if everything looks good, where do you turn to? In mechatronics there are often... More

Light Matters: The Unsung Heroes of Modern Health Care
First, let's define "no-compromise." In an ideal configuration, this lamp would use a high-brightness LED (HBLED) that is built into a small, integrated package and is able to produce a large quantity of focused light, operate with a high level of reliability and generate no audible noise. Is this difficult? Yes, but it is possible.
