Michael Hill is a Professor in Mechanical and Aerospace
Engineering at UC Davis, having arrived at Davis in the Fall of
1996 to pursue teaching and research in Mechanical Design. Hill
has an active research program in the areas of fatigue and
fracture of materials, with a special emphasis in the influence
of manufacturing-induced stresses (residual stresses) on
structural performance. The research is carried out in close
collaboration with a range of industry and government partners.
He teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in experimental
methods and in mechanical design, where students learn to create
new systems, select materials of construction, and design parts
to sustain service loading.
