Dr. Jeremy Brown

Biography

Jeremy D. Brown, John C. Malone Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, explores the interface between humans and robotics with a specific focus on medical applications and haptic feedback. Brown’s research straddles the fields of engineering, biomechatronics, medicine, and psychophysics, concentrating on the ways humans interact with robotic systems. He develops innovative haptic interfaces for upper-limb prostheses, minimally invasive surgical robotics, and rehabilitation robots. Brown leads the Haptics Medical Robotics (HAMR) lab, employing methods from human perception, motor control, neurophysiology, and biomechanics to study the human sense of touch, particularly regarding human-robot interaction and collaboration. The elements of HAMR’s research have led to significant advancements in fields such as rehabilitation robotics. Brown's contributions have been recognized through several prestigious awards, including the IEEE RAS Technical Committee Haptics Early CAREER Award, the NSF CRII Award, and the NSF CAREER Award. He has also received the Sloan Foundation Fellowship and has been a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellow. Additionally, Brown is a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and is involved in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE). His work has been published in major peer-reviewed journals and recognized by numerous media outlets.
