Biography
Hollerbach received his BS in chemistry in 1968 and MS in mathematics in 1969 from the University of Michigan. He studied electrical engineering and computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he received a SM in 1975 and a PhD in 1978. He was on the faculty of the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences and a member of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1982 to 1989. He was a Natural Sciences and Engineering/Canadian Institute for Advanced Research professor of robotics at McGill University in the Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering from 1989 to 1994.[1]
Hollerbach received a Presidential Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation in 1984.[2] He was named a Fellow of the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research in 1988 and became an IEEE Fellow in 1996.[3] He received a Distinguished Service Award from the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society in 2012 for "his dedication, professionalism, and commitment to transparency in different tasks for the society, especially for Conference Activities and Technical Activities".[4]
