Paul Kenneth Wright is a mechanical engineer best known for his work on the UC Berkeley-based CyberCut/CyberBuild project, which established a set of standards that streamlined the conversion of creative manufacturing designs into rapid prototyping.[1] Wright's NYU research group (led by Israel Greenfeld, Fred Hansen, and Louie Pavlakos) is also known for developing the first open-architecture control-of-manufacturing systems, and for developing Internet-based CAD/CAM systems.
Wright was the director of the (CITRIS), a four-campus University of California research institute that applies information technology to large-scale societal problems. Wright also holds the A. Martin Berlin Chair in the University of California at Berkeley's Mechanical Engineering Department.[1] He is co-director of the (BMI) and co-director of the Berkeley Wireless Research Center (BWRC). From 1995 to 2005 Wright was the co-chair of the Management of Technology Program[permanent dead link], a multi-disciplinary program at UC Berkeley dedicated to bringing high-tech products to the marketplace.
Wright is author or co-author of more than 200 journal and conference articles and is co-author, with David A. Bourne, of the book Manufacturing Intelligence.[2] Wright also co-authored the book Metal Cutting with E. M. Trent.[3] His book 21st Century Manufacturing[4] won the Society of Manufacturing Engineers Eugene M. Merchant Book of the Year Award in 2001.[5]
His current research focuses on energy scavenging and storage for micro-scale motes, smart materials, design and manufacturing for micro-integration of 'intelligent objects," and the applications of wireless sensor systems.[9] For example, beginning in 2002, following California's electricity crisis, CITRIS and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory researchers worked on Demand Response (DR) with the California Energy Commission [through its Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) program and the California Institute for Energy and the Environment (CIEE)] to create a multi-disciplinary team of architects, engineers, and user-interface specialists. Working with colleagues David Auslander and Dick White, Wright was part of the group that created a reference design for open system programmable communicating thermostats (PCTs). Combined with related work on smart sensors, and grid-level IT techniques, Demand Response (DR) can reduce peak-load consumption behaviors using time-of-use and critical peak pricing.
