Dine and Learn: Upper Limb Prosthetic Design and Control in the Biomechatronics Development Laboratory
The Denver Section would like to invite you to join us for the latest presentation in our Dine and Learn series!
Come join your fellow IEEE members and local engineers for a fun filled evening of appetizers, networking, and dinner, while we discover exciting new innovations in technology. Once a month one of your local Denver IEEE Societies will host the event and bring in a unique speaker related to their field to present. This provides you, our members, with a unique opportunity to explore and learn about exciting new technologies being developed around you. Early on in the evening you’ll also have ample opportunity to mingle with your fellow engineers and colleagues delving into a broad range of technical expertise.
We will provide the appetizers, but dinner is at your own expense. Dinner for students is free.
If there is a specific speaker or topic you find interesting please let us know and we will try to accommodate it in the schedule.

Jacob Segil
Upper Limb Prosthetic Design and Control in the Biomechatronics Development Laboratory
The human hand is a complex mechano-sensory device. The replacement of the human hand requires expertise across a wide variety of fields including electromechanical design, machine learning, and neural interfaces. Jacob Segil will describe his work on brain-machine interfaces, neural prosthetic devices, and myoelectric control systems in the Biomechatronics Development Laboratory at the University of Colorado Denver.
Biography:
Jacob Segil is an Instructor for the Engineering Plus at the University of Colorado at Boulder and a VA Research Healthcare Scientist. Dr. Segil has a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Bioenigneering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, both from the University of Colorado Boulder. Dr. Segil researches brain-machine interfaces, neural prosthetic devices, and myoelectric control systems.
