CLASP is very pleased to welcome Bryan Hampton, Senior Software Engineer at Toyota.

Mr. Hampton will give a presentation titled:
"From defense to automated driving, the fun career path of an MEng grad."

Abstract: Bryan received his Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, and stayed to get his Master of Engineering in Space Systems in 2000. His career started in Tucson, AZ working for Raytheon in the Operations Research department under the Systems Engineering directorate. After 10 years there he moved to Huntsville, AL, otherwise known as Rocket City USA, to work as a NASA contractor for a small engineering firm. After 17 years in Aero it was time for a change to robotics, so next up was Palo Alto, CA to work at the Toyota Research Institute on the automated driving team. Finally relocating with TRI back to Ann Arbor to continue the work. The presentation will cover highlights of projects worked on, various technologies, processes used to get projects done, how modeling and simulation play a large role in all modern engineering endeavors, and more.
