I would like to give our heartfelt thank you to Dr. Shawn Midlam-Mohler, who was not only an invaluable co-advisor, but a great mentor and source of inspiration to the entire team. Finally, we are grateful for all the support the team has received from CAR staff, Profs. Guezennec and Yurkovich, and the College of Engineering.
