Seth Kuhlman earned a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2005 and a M.S.
degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2007, both from Boise State University. Since
graduating in 2007 Seth has been the Lab Manager for the Center for Orthopaedics and
Biomechanics Research at Boise State University. Previous to this Seth worked as a
Research Assistant at Boise State University designing sonic nozzle profiles for use in
nano-satellites. Currently, Seth’s interests focus on biomechanics, control systems, and
medical device design.
