Colin Morris

Colin Morris has a diverse work experience in mechanical and mechatronics engineering. Colin started their career in 2012 as a Mechanical Engineering Intern at the University of Washington Applied Biomechanics Lab, where they conducted a study on ankle replacements and published a paper. In 2013, they worked as a Mechanical Engineering Intern at Duke University Medical Center, focusing on Brain-Machine-Interface technology and developing dynamic models and estimation algorithms. From 2014 to 2016, Colin worked as a Mechatronics Engineer at Orthocare Innovations, leading the design effort for an intelligent mechanical/hydraulic prosthetic ankle and performing system analysis, optimization, and mechanical design. In 2016, they joined Oculus VR as a Mechanical Engineer (Contract), spearheading a research effort to develop manufacturing processes for pneumatic soft-robotic actuators and designing a fluidic valve array system. Colin then pursued a Ph.D. at the University of Washington from June to December 2017, conducting research on Human-Robot Interaction control architecture for Mirror Therapy rehabilitation devices and publishing a conference paper. From 2018 to 2019, they worked as a Mechatronics Engineer at Tethers Unlimited Inc., leading the engineering design effort for an electromechanical hydraulic latching mechanism for aerospace applications. Currently, Colin is a Mechanical Engineer at Orthocare Innovations, where they apply their expertise in mechanical design.

Colin Morris completed their Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Washington from 2010 to 2014. Colin then pursued a Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on Control Theory from the same university, which they completed from 2015 to 2017.
