Uma is responsible for user interface development and development of applications to enhance the value of TTI services. She is an Assistant Professor at Washington State University. Dr. Uma Jayaram has over 14 years' experience in creating CAD/CAM applications, user-interfaces, software engineering, software management and maintenance, geometric modeling, integration frameworks, and two-way data exchange between dissimilar engineering applications. For the past 5 years she has focused on the integration of dissimilar systems and frameworks for integration of CAD/CAM systems and other engineering applications. Her past experience includes: Post-Doctoral Research Associate at Virginia Tech and a lead researcher in the ACSYNT Institute until 1993. In 1993-1994, she was an assistant professor at the University of Idaho's Human Factors Engineering Group. She spent a year as senior scientist at Isothermal Systems Research before joining WSU as an Assistant Professor in 1995. Along with Dr. S. Jayaram, she co-founded the Virtual Reality and Computer Integrated Manufacturing Laboratory and brought world recognition to the group's effort at WSU in the fields of systems integration, virtual prototyping, data exchange between CAD systems and VR applications and reverse transfer of data into parametric CAD systems. She received the prestigious Sloan Faculty Fellow Award in 1997. Dr. Uma Jayaram received her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Virginia Tech (VPI) in 1991. Her specialization was in the extraction of aircraft features from B-Spline surface models.
