Dr. Steven R. Anton is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Tennessee Tech University.  He is the director of the Dynamic and Smart Systems Laboratory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to joining Tennessee Tech, Steve served as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Engineering Institute<\/a> at Los Alamos National Laboratory<\/a> (LANL) in Los Alamos, New Mexico.  While at LANL, his research focused on multisource energy harvesting with field testing of wind turbine blades, and piezoelectret foam transduction and harvesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve received his Master\u2019s and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical Engineering under the advisement of Dr. Daniel J. Inman at the Center for Intelligent Material Systems and Structures<\/a> (CIMSS) at Virginia Tech<\/a> in 2008 and 2011, respectively.  His Ph.D. research focused on multi-functional piezoelectric energy harvesting with an emphasis on unmanned aerial vehicles.  His Master’s research involved instantaneous (baseline-free) Lamb wave-based Structural Health Monitoring (SHM).  Prior to his graduate studies at Virginia Tech, Steve attended Michigan Tech<\/a> where he received his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve’s research interests include exploration of the dynamic response of smart material systems, self-powered biomedical sensing, real-time structural health monitoring and damage detection, multifunctional and multisource energy harvesting using various transduction mechanisms, vibrations, structural dynamics, and modal analysis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
