Frank E. Talke

CMRR Endowed Chair Professor, Department of MAE

Research Interests

The focus of Professor Talke’s research is in the areas of medical device technology and information storage. 

In the area of information storage, Prof. Talke and his students have been involved for more than 50 years in studying tribology and mechanics of disk and tape drives, and more recently, the optimization of thermal flying height control sliders and heat assisted magnetic recording.

In the area of medical device technology, Prof. Talke and his students are involved in developing an intraocular pressure sensor for implantation in the human eye and the design of novel internet-enabled ophthalmic instrumentation.  In addition, research efforts on 3-d printed endoscopes, esophagus deflection devices, detachable bronchoscopes, and biofilm retardant catheters are under way.

The research in Professor Talke’s group is very interdisciplinary, combining aspects of mechanical engineering, physics, materials science and high precision instrumentation to advance information storage and biomedical device technology.

Biography

Dr. Talke began his career at the IBM Research and Development Laboratories in San Jose, California, in 1969. He joined the department of Applied Mechanics and Engineering Science at UC San Diego in 1986.   Prof. Talke holds an endowed chair in the Center for Memory and Recording Research.

Dr. Talke made important contributions in tribology of magnetic recording systems and in the development of a prototype drop-on-demand color ink jet printer.  He performed pioneering studies in applying laser Doppler vibrometry to hard disk drives, and in studying novel lubricants and additives for the head/disk interface.

More recently, Dr. Talke has become interested in medical device technology.  With his students, he is studying 3-D printed disposable endoscopes and the design of a MEMS-type miniaturized intraocular pressure sensors for implantation in the human eye.  In addition, research efforts are under way on miniaturization of internet enabled ophthalmic instrumentation, esophagus deflection devices, detachable bronchoscopes, and biofilm retardant catheters.

Dr. Talke has authored or co-authored more than 350 archived journal articles. He holds 11 patents with two pending.

He received the ASME Medal in 2008, the Mayo D. Hersey Award in 2010, and the Tribology Gold Medal in 2010.  Dr. Talke is a Fellow of the ASME, the STLE and the IEEE.  He became an Honorary member of the ASME in 2018, and was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1999.

Dr. Talke received his Diplom-Ingenieur degree from the University of Stuttgart, Germany, in 1965. He earned his master’s and Ph.D. degrees in mechanical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1966 and 1968, respectively.  He holds an honorary doctorate from the Technical University of Munich (TUM), Germany.
