Meet the Director — Paul Michael 
The Fluid Power Institute™ (FPI) has been a leader in hydraulic fluid power innovation since 1962. We specialize in evaluating new fluid power technologies using customized power units that replicate real-world conditions with precision. Our applied research services help industry partners evaluate and refine new technologies while providing hands-on learning opportunities for B´ÎÔª students. Each year, graduate and undergraduate students gain invaluable experience with fluid power components, electronics, controls, sensors, data analysis, and systems in our labs. We’re always looking for new collaboration opportunities—whether it’s testing cutting-edge technology or sponsoring student projects. Let’s explore how we can work together to advance innovation in the great field of Fluid Power!
