Today, in the age of customization, customers demand high-performance products that are tailored specifically to their personal application. One way to meet this need is to design architectures that can be customized and manufactured to include custom geometries and features. I will provide an algorithmic approach that allows you to provide the best solution to the specific and evolving needs of your customer at minimum cost per custom design.

Dr. Hobbs loves to learn, make, and teach. Doc Hobbs has a BA in Liberal Arts from Saint Mary’s College, a BS in Mechanical Engineering from USC, and a MS and Ph.D. in MEMs Design from UC Berkeley. He has filed over 30 patents with the USPTO while successfully designing and launched 2 new products, Harmony and Matrix, for FormFactor Inc.. Doc Hobbs was most recently the Director of Advanced Technology and is currently on special assignment from the CEO to reduce lead-times of custom probe card products to meet accelerating and demanding lead-time needs in the Semiconductor Markets. Doc Hobbs loves to play in Technical Management, New Product Development, Invention and Intellectual Property, Precision Machine Design, MEMs, Fabrication/Prototyping, Rapid Experimentation, Optimization, and most recently in Corporate Operational Structures and Business Practices. In his spare time, Doc Hobbs loves to race motorcycles (#863 in the AFM) and spend time with his family. When Doc Hobbs grows up he wants to impact the world by leading companies that provide technological solutions that have a positive global impact.

PTS Tshirts Arriving Soon from OoShirts!

Keep an eye open for your new PTS Tshirts! They will be arriving soon from OoShirts.

Keep an eye out for an email announcement about when and where to pick up your tshirt. Please be prepared to pay for your shirt with cash or check to 'ASUC - Pi Tau Sigma'

More about OoShirts: On March 17th, 2007, ooShirts launched its first website. We kept it simple and designed the site around a quote generator and a preview feature. No ads, no frills—just clean, efficient custom t-shirt printing. We rejected the idea of paid advertising, and instead, relied on word-of-mouth as we spent our time and energy on building a company with low prices, fast shipping times, and above all, dedication to our customers.

Since we launched our website, we've made steady improvements to ooShirts and stuck to our values (see Our Philosophy). As a result, we have a high customer return rate (see Recent Reviews) and one of the highest growth rates among custom-print stores. And as long as we're around, we'll continue to stand firmly by the values that have built ooShirts into the business it is today.
