Ethan Newman is a Ph.D. student in the J. Mike Walker ‘66 Department of Mechanical
Engineering since Fall 2025. He earned a B.S. from Michigan State University with a
double major in Mechanical Engineering and History in May 2025. Ethan’s
undergraduate research included effects of haptic feedback on motor learning, pattern
recognition of motion tracking, and solid mechanics of battery electrodes. With HVIL,
Ethan hopes to gain an understanding of impact phenomena to apply to composite
armor systems.
