Raul G. Longoria

Dr. Raul G. Longoria received the B.S.M.E. and Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 1985 and 1989, respectively. He joined the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Texas at Austin (UT-Austin) in 1991 and holds the rank of Professor. His teaching and research interests focus on development and application of multi-disciplinary dynamic system modeling, vehicle system dynamics and controls, electromechanical system modeling and simulation, and medical device design and development. Dr. Longoria developed a program in vehicle systems research beginning in 1998 while serving as UT-Austin site director of a multi-university Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) sponsored by the National Science Foundation. He has been active on projects sponsored by Applied Materials, John Deere, LMS-CAE, National Instruments, Radian, SAIC, United Defense LP, as well by DARPA, the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy. In recent years, he has also collaborated on medical device development projects with colleagues at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston in the areas of cardiovascular assist and ultrasound-guided vascular access. Dr. Longoria is a registered Professional Engineer in the State of Texas, and a member of the ASME, IEEE, SAE, ISTVS, and ASEE.
