Maegan received her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering (ME) from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in May 2023. Prior, she also received a M.S. in ME from Caltech in 2019 and a B.S. in ME from Georgia Tech in 2017. After graduating with her Ph.D., Maegan conducted a brief postdoc at Caltech (May–August 2023), followed by a brief research position at Disney Research (September–December 2023). Generally speaking, her research interests lie at the intersection of control theory and human-robot interaction, with specific applications towards lower-limb assistive devices. Much of her research is centered around the question: “What is the right way to walk?”. In her free time, Maegan enjoys puzzles, playing video games, and the piano.

Maegan Tucker joined Georgia Tech as an assistant professor with joint appointments in the School of Electrical & Computer Engineering and the School of Mechanical Engineering in January 2024.

Shyh-Chiang Shen received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 2001. He was a key contributor of high-cycle low-voltage radio-frequency (RF) microelectromechanical system (MEMS) switches and GaAs metal-semiconductor field effect transistors (MESFETs) millimeter-wave integrated circuits (MMICs) during his tenure at UIUC. At Xindium Technologies (2000-2004), he developed a proprietary commercial-grade InP single-heterojunction bipolar transistor (SHBT) technology that led to the first demonstration of monolithically integrated 40Gb/s PIN+TIA differential-output optical receivers.

Shen joined the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2005 as an Assistant Professor and was promoted a Full Professor in 2018. His research has yielded 8 awarded U.S. patents, 5 book chapters, 170+ publications in refereed journals and conferences, and many invited seminar talks to date. He is also an editor of a book entitled Nitride Semiconductor LEDs (2nd Ed., October 2017.) His current research is focused on wide bandgap semiconductor (WBG) microelectronics and optoelectronic devices with emphasis on physical device study, fabrication processing technique development, and device characterizations.
