David is a senior in mechanical engineering, due to graduate spring of 2020. In addition to his classes at San Francisco State University, he previously worked as an engineering technician assisting with design and fabrication prototype antenna systems for two years. Afterwards, he moved on to working as a manufacturing engineer and liaison between Engineering and Production in a high mix low volume environment for four years. He was responsible for the operation, maintenance, and personal training for a small machine shop and he also developed and fabricated electro-mechanical test fixtures for assembly, testing, and verification. Prior to this he worked as a certified ASE master mechanic.

Pemba is a mechanical engineering student. He has been working in CARE Lab under Professor Quintero since summer of 2019. During his first summer he designed and created a novel control system for lower limb prosthesis. This semester he has been working on the control system for the elbow exoskeleton with Brian. In this project he has been working on designing the tensioner brackets that provides tension and holds the cable on a fixed distance from the pulleys.

Brian is a mechanical engineering student. In a previous semester's, he amazed his peers in the "Mechatronics" course at San Francisco State by designing, building, and programming a fully robotic hand that allows the user to play rock paper scissors against it. He has been working for Professor Quintero on a cable driven elbow exoskeleton and plans to bring the knowledge that he has gained from that project to this one.

Manuel is a Mechanical Engineering student graduating in the Spring 2020. He has previously worked in a commercial steel processing facility operating machinery that cold worked different steel alloys. Here he gained firsthand experience with many different manufacturing processes and fabrication techniques. He also previously served as an intern for UC San Francisco’s Catalyst program, working with a team of doctors and medical professional to bring life changing innovations to life.
