Biography
Dr. Richert’s interests lie in engineering education, with a focus on undergraduate curriculum development, laboratory-based instruction, and quality assurance. He has designed and delivered a number of hands-on, experiential courses, including Industrial Automation, Mechatronic Systems Laboratory, Software Systems & Design for Engineers, and a field-trip course on robotics in Japan. He regularly teaches courses in automation, control systems, mechatronics, and software design, emphasizing problem-solving and design thinking in the classroom.
Dr. Richert currently serves as Chair of the Mechanical and Manufacturing Programs and leads the School of Engineering’s Undergraduate Quality Assurance and Continual Improvement Committee. He is registered as a Professional Engineering with Engineers and Geoscientists BC.
He earned his PhD from the University of California, San Diego, where his research focused on distributed control algorithms for networked systems. Following his doctoral studies, he worked as a Senior Algorithms Engineer at Cymer Inc. (an ASML company), where he developed and validated embedded control systems for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light sources used in semiconductor manufacturing.
In 2017, he returned to Canada to conduct postdoctoral research at the University of Calgary, where he developed a real-time environmental noise monitoring sensor network for the City of Calgary.
