Berkeley, all in Electrical Engineering. From 1986 to 1989, he was a
Research
Staff Member in the robotics group at the IBM T.J. Watson Research
Center.
He then joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at
the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada, where he holds

a Canada Research Chair. He spent one year at ONERA in
Toulouse, France, in 1996 - 1997, where he held a Killam Research
Fellowship.
From 01/2005 to 06/2005 he was on a sabbatical visit at CNRS/TIMG/GMCAO
in
Grenoble, with Dr. Jocelyne Troccaz. Professor Salcudean has been
a co-organizer of the
Haptics
Symposium from 2000 - 2002, of a Haptics,
Virtual Reality, and Human Computer Interaction Workshop at the
Institute for Mathematics and its Applications, and a Technical
