The Secretary of the U.S. Army has appointed Delbert Tesar, mechanical engineering professor at The University of Texas at Austin, to a three-year term as a member of the U.S. Army Science Board. This U.S. Army senior scientific advisory body is comprised of individuals from the private sector, academia, retired flag officer ranks, and non-U.S. Department of Defense government agencies. The board conducts multiple level meetings to enable members to review U.S. Army science development, become better educated on U.S. Army issues and advise U.S. Army managers on relevant scientific and technological matters.
Tesar directs the Robotic Research Group at the university, where he develops advanced component and system technology for intelligent machines and robotics. He holds the Carol Cockrell Curran Chair in Engineering.
