Research Bio

Bogy works primarily in the mechanics of data storage systems through the Computer Mechanics Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. He is the founding Director of CML. It is concerned with the mechanics and tribology of hard disk drives. This work is funded by the disk drive industry, the Information Storage Industry Consortium and NSF. Bogy also works in wave diffraction studies, which is funded by NSF and AFOSR
