She joined Penn State University in 1990 after serving as an NSF/NATO Postdoctoral Fellow at the Technical University of Rhineland-Westphalia in Aachen, Germany. Dr. Jablokow spent her first six years at Penn State in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University Park, where her research and teaching interests focused on robotics, control, and engineering creativity. She moved to the Philadelphia region in 1996, where she joined the full-time Engineering faculty at Penn State Great Valley. Since that time, Dr. Jablokow’s research and teaching expertise in problem solving and creativity have expanded, and she is now recognized as one of the leading experts in this field as it applies to science and engineering.
