LAB PERSONNEL

Lab Director

David Quintero, Ph.D.

Dr. Quintero is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at San Francisco State University investigating the design and control strategies of wearable robotic systems by merging engineering and medicine in producing multidisciplinary research approaches. The overall goal of his lab group is to provide natural, stable biomechanical movement for amputees using a powered prosthesis, which is lacking from conventional passive prostheses. Furthermore, his group is performing research in developing powered exoskeletons for humans who suffer from motor control disorder such as a stroke, and assist their body movement to be able to achieve daily tasks.

​

Dr. Quintero received his B.S. degree from Texas A&M University, the M.S. degree from Stanford University, and the Ph.D. degree from University of Texas at Dallas all in mechanical engineering. He has 10+ years' in industry as a robotics and controls engineer within the Healthcare, Automotive, and Defense sectors. His experiences has shaped him to mentor students in evaluating challenging problems and provide unique, multidisciplinary engineering solutions. When not in the lab or classroom, he enjoys community volunteering, playing fútbol, and improve his surfing skills!
