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.
