Kristina Shea

Kristina Shea is a mechanical engineer whose research topics include generative design, tensegrity structures, aquatic soft robotics,[1] and 4D printing.[2] She is a professor in the Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering at ETH Zurich, where she holds the chair in Engineering Design and Computing.[3]

Education and career

Shea studied mechanical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University, earning a bachelor's degree in 1993, master's in 1995, and PhD in 1997.[3] Her doctoral dissertation, Essays of Discrete Structures: Purposeful Design of Grammatical Structures by Directed Stochastic Search, was supervised by Jonathan Cagan.[4]

Shea came to Switzerland as a postdoctoral researcher at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in the Applied Computing and Mechanics Laboratory of the Department of Civil Engineering. She became a lecturer in engineering design at the University of Cambridge, and then from 2005 to 2012 she was a professor of virtual product development at the Technical University of Munich before taking her present position at ETH Zurich.[3]

Recognition

Shea won the 2001 Philip Leverhulme Prize in Engineering.[3] She is a Fellow of the ASME, elected in 2013.[5]
