Dana R. Yoerger (M'87) received the S.B., S.M., and Ph.D. degrees in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge.
He is an Associate Scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), Woods Hole, MA, where he designs and implements robotic control systems for telerobotic and autonomous underwater vehicles and manipulator systems. These include the full-ocean depth Jason remotely operated vehicle, the Autonomous Benthic Explorer (ABE), and a variety of systems for use in the US Navy and the commercial inspection industries. He has gone to sea on over 24 oceanographic expeditions, including the 1985 Titanic discovery cruise. He is currently Head of WHOI's Deep Submergence Laboratory (DSL) which was founded by Dr. Robert Ballard. DSL features a unique team of engineers, technicians, administrators, and students who perform engineering research and development, and also conduct extensive oceanographic field work under the auspices of WHOI's National Deep Submergence Facility. He is also a founder of Imetrix, Inc., Cape Cod, MA, an employee-owned company that builds robotic underwater inspection systems.
