Question: Where is the laboratory where Joseph Hendrie served as chairman of the Department of Applied Science?

Ernest Lenard (Ernie) Hall, Ph.D., PE, is Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science in the School of Dynamic Systems in the College of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Cincinnati.  He was also the Paul E. Geier Professor of Robotics in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Cincinnati.  He has also held joint appointments at the University of Cincinnati with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science.  He regularly collaborates with faculty and students in other colleges at University of Cincinnati, as well as civic groups, including the FIRST Lego League, the Ohio Academy of Science, and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (Chapter 21).  While consulting with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, he became interested in efforts to make useful robots for some of the dangerous tasks encountered by the Department of Energy, Department of Defense and NASA.  He noted the importance of combining image processing algorithms with manipulators and controller to build intelligent robots, especially in automatic target recognition.  He has founded and has co-chaired an annual conference on Intelligent Robots and Computer Vision for the past 25 years to provide a forum for new innovations in this field.  He sits as the first Paul.  E. Geier Professor of Robotics at the University of Cincinnati.  At the University of Cincinnati, he established the Center for Robotics Research, which encourages robotics activities in industry, medicine, defense, and even at home with projects like a robot lawn mower.  He also founded the UC Robot Team that has participated in the Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition for the past 15 years and the DARPA Grand Challenge in 2005 and 2007. <SEP>  On August 9, 1977 he was named to a four-year term on the Commission and designated as its chairman by President Jimmy Carter. Joseph M. Hendrie is a former chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).  From 1975 to 1977, Hendrie had served as chairman of the Department of Applied Science at Brookhaven National Laboratory. <SEP> Formal protocol is the general rule in fields of applied science, such as environmental and medical studies that require the coordinated, standardized work of many participants.  Such predefined protocols are an essential component of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and Good Clinical Practice (GCP) regulations.  Protocols written for use by a specific laboratory may incorporate or reference standard operating procedures (SOP) governing general practices required by the laboratory.  A protocol may also reference applicable laws and regulations that are applicable to the procedures described.  Formal protocols typically require approval by a laboratory official before they are implemented for general use. <SEP>  Its name stems from its location within the Town of Brookhaven, approximately 60 miles east of New York City. Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is a United States Department of Energy national laboratory located in Upton, New York, on Long Island, and was formally established in 1947 at the site of Camp Upton, a former U.S. Army base.
