David P. Arnold is currently an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Florida, Gainesville. His research focuses on the design, fabrication, and characterization of magnetically-based microsensors/microactuators and miniaturized power and energy systems.
He received dual B.S. degrees in electrical and computer engineering in 1999, followed by the M.S. degree in electrical engineering in 2001, from the University of Florida, Gainesville. He received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta in 2004. During his graduate studies, he held research fellowships from the National Science Foundation and the Tau Beta Pi engineering honor society.
Dr. Arnold is an active participant in the magnetics and MEMS communities, serving on various conference committees for the MEMS, PowerMEMS, Hilton Head, Transducers, Sensors, MMM, and Intermag meetings. He is the technical program co-chair of the 2009 International Workshop on Micro and Nanotechnology for Power Generation and Energy Conversion Applications (PowerMEMS). He is a recipient of the 2008 Presidential Early Career Award in Science and Engineering (PECASE) and the 2009 DARPA Young Faculty Award. Dr. Arnold is the current UF chapter faculty advisor and member of the Eta Kappa Nu ECE engineering honor society. He is also a member of IEEE, Tau Beta Pi, and American Society for Engineering Education.
