Jose Garcia
Dr. Jose M. Garcia-Bravo graduated from Los Andes University in Bogota, Colombia with a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering in 2002. He moved to the United States in 2003 and completed his M.Sc.E in 2006 and Ph.D in 2011 from Purdue University. He worked as a Research Assistant Professor at IIT in Chicago from 2011-2012. In 2012 he returned to Purdue to serve as an Assistant Professor at the Purdue Polytechnic Kokomo. Dr. Garcia-Bravo, joined the School of Engineering Technology at Purdue main campus in 2015, he is currently an Associate Professor for the Mechanical Engineering Technology program where he has a special focus on fluid power (hydraulic systems) research and instruction.
Dr. Garcia-Bravo investigates how hydraulic systems can improve the performance and efficiency of heavy duty vehicles. He also researches techniques for the creation of flexible components with embedded sensors using additive manufacturing for robotics, rehabilitation and industrial applications. During his time at Purdue, he has been awarded several grants to develop technology for the improvement of fluid power systems. As the director of his research group at Purdue, he received funding for the development of contamination resistant valves for the throttle control of fighter jet engines. The resulting design of this project generated a modified poppet valve that improved its response time from 40ms to 10ms. He has developed with his students an IoT irrigation system for water deprived areas in Arequipa, Peru. He has also conducted research in novel methods for the hybridization of electrically powered drive trains using hydraulic accumulators. Most recently he is developing an autonomous micro-drilling robot for underground applications.
More recently, he has been studying the principles for the creation of startup companies and have been personally interacting with industry professionals in the truck, automotive and off-road sectors.
