Ralf Bachmayer (S'98) was born in Heilbronn, Germany, in 1967. He received the degree in electrical engineering from the Technische Universität Karlsruhe, Karlsruhe, Germany in 1995. As part of his final thesis, he designed the terrain following algorithm for the Autonomous Benthic Explorer (ABE) at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, MA. He received the M.Sc. degree in mechanical engineering from Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, in 1997, where he is currently working toward the Ph.D. degree.
From 1993 to 1994, he spent one year at ENSIEG, Grenoble, France, on an ERASMUS grant where he worked on a controller for the VORTEX vehicle for IFREMER, Toulon, France. In 1995, he joined the Dynamical Systems and Controls Laboratory in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD. His research interests are in modeling and control of electromechanical systems.
