Biography

Jack Hartman joined the Micro/Nanofluidics Laboratory in October of 2013. He graduated from Penn State University in December of 2009 with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Spanish. As an undergraduate, Jack designed and constructed test beds for a foot-mounted sensor to detect slip in bipedal robots.  He also investigated cavitation-enhanced microchannel heat exchangers for high power electronic cooling applications.  Following graduation, Jack became a civilian engineer for Naval Sea Systems Command at the Navy Yard in Washington, DC.  As part of a rotational program, he worked on a variety of projects, including radar requirements development, warship concept development, engineering management of product improvements, and troubleshooting onboard radar systems.  At Navy Research Labs, he analyzed high heat flux cooling systems for several electronic applications.  At the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Philadelphia, he investigated high temperature superconductivity in select materials.

Jack is a member of Tau Beta Pi.
