Biography of Ping Yeh
Ping was born on Dec. 4, 1975 in Mountain
View, California right is next door to Stanford University. He graduated
from Pinewood High School of Los Altos Hills in 1994. Ping received his
B.S. of Mechanical Engineering at U.C. San Diego in the Spring of 1999
where he spent a couple of years as an undergraduate researcher here at
the CMRR. His work experience began early in his undergraduate career by
working two summers for a High-tech injection mold company called M.O.S
Plastics in San Jose, California. After M.O.S Plastics, Ping worked one
summer at the CMRR on suspension dynamics and designing a shock tester
for the lab to examine head slap. For the Summer of 1998, he worked at
IBM in a Suspension Development Team in the Storage Systems Division. This
past Summer, Ping began his Master's Thesis topic at Western Digital in
San Jose on Dual Stage Actuating suspensions in their Advanced Mechanical
Development department.
Ping's interests as an undergraduate were
eclectic. He loves volunteer science teaching at Stanley Middle School
and Doyle Elementary for the Jacob's School of Engineering. Ping enjoyed
his time as the President of the Triton Engineering Student Council and
member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He also loved studying
a Fall Quarter at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. Ping enjoys
playing competitive tennis as he played four wonderful years for the UCSD
tennis team and served (no pun intended) on the Triton Athletes' Council.
His other love is music as Ping is an accomplished musician at the French
Horn as he has played for Symphonies in Silicon Valley and Dartmouth. He
has toured across the United States in Seattle and New York (United Nations,
Avery Fisher Hall Lincoln Center and Botanical Gardens) as well as 8 concerts
in France. He loves to travel having been all over the U.S., Western Europe,
Asia, and recently Australia. As a first year Graduate student, Ping is
a graduate member of the Chancellor's Organization of Allied Students (COAST)
and a Student Trustee of
the University of California, San Diego. He looks forward to the academic
challenges ahead.
