Dr. Gillespie to Host New Web Seminar Tomorrow

Please join us for our next web seminar which will be hosted by Dr. Tom Gillespie and is titled Introduction to Ride and Handling. This popular series will continue on Wednesday, February 14, at 10:00 a.m. EST.

Dr Gillespie, Mechanical Simulation's Director of Product Planning, is a research professor emeritus at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute. He joined the University in 1976 after working at Ford Motor Company as a design analyst and development engineer. Over the years he has conducted research in road roughness characterization, road-vehicle interactions, and modeling and simulation of vehicle dynamic behavior. The work in road roughness led to the development of the International Roughness Index. His experience in vehicle dynamics is largely reflected in the book, Fundamentals of Vehicle Dynamics, published by the Society of Automotive Engineers. In the late 1980s Dr Gillespie served as a Senior Policy Analyst in the White House Science Office for the Reagan Administration. Upon returning to the University he served as the Director of the Great Lakes Center for Truck and Transit Research.
