Biography
Steve Lambert is a Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering Professor and is cross-appointed to the Department of Systems Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo. In addition, he is also the NSERC Chair in Design Engineering. Professor Lambert's focus is the development of engineering design case studies for use throughout the engineering curriculum to demonstrate design and the application of engineering science concepts in real situations. His research takes a learning approach to improving design, and is directly related to the proposed research. He is involved with 2 AUTO21 research projects focused on the design of electric and hybrid electric vehicles. These projects have investigated the use of ultracapacitors in hybrid electric vehicles, energy management and design intergation, and the development of vehicle control strategies to take advantage of the benefits of electric drivetrains. Professor Lambert is the theme coordinator for Design Processes, within the AUTO21 Network Centre of Excellence, and the Canadian task leader for fatigue for the three-country (Canada, China, and the United States) Magnesium Front End Research and Development (MFERD) project.
