Pinhas Ben-Tzvi received the B.Sc. degree (Summa Cum Laude) from the Technion -- Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel, in 2000, and the M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada, in 2004 and 2008, respectively, both in mechanical engineering. From 2000 to 2002, he was employed by General Electric Medical Systems, where he worked mainly on the design, analysis, development and integration of medical diagnostic mechatronic systems (CT, MRI, PET, and PET/CT).
Dr. Ben-Tzvi is currently an Assistant Professor in the department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the George Washington University. His areas of research and academic interests are focused on the advanced mechanics and control of mechatronic and robotic systems, the design of intelligent autonomous systems, medical robotics, and the application of smart materials for the development of novel sensors and actuators for biomedical and miniature mechatronic and microrobotic systems. Dr. Ben-Tzvi is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
