Bio
David Malawey
A former pupil of mine and currently we are collaborating in mobile robotics. He has top-notch interpersonal skills and leadership among the engineers I know. Impressive breadth of technical knowledge as well. Does not suffer from the "missing real-world" experience of many engineers who transition from undergrad straight to grad school, which is fantastic!
