Dr. Mike North

Materials and Mechanical Engineering:

Got a problem? He'll solve it. Whether employing engineering rigor or reaching out into the world of cutting edge technology, he finds a solution. And watch out for his "experiments" as he puts the fun into science.

Dr. Mike North received his Bachelors of Science, summa cum laude with distinction, in mechanical engineering, as well as his Masters and PhD in materials science and engineering from the University of California, Santa Barbara.

North earned his PhD by designing/fabricating the worlds first adhesive that can be turned on and off electronically.

He is an expert in micro/nanofabrication, nanoscale microscopy, and micro/nanomechanical characterization. At the other extent of North's fabricating, he builds much larger scale avant-garde art, e.g. fire breathing 90 mph dragon ships, computer controlled fire cannons, and a number of highly innovative prototypes.
