    I got my Bachelor and Master degrees from Yonsei University both in mechanical engineering. My research interests are about electric machine design using magnetics and controlling it based on the fundamental understanding.

    I am currently researching the linear motor system which is levitated with the full 6DOF active control. I really love crossfit and cooking steak in my free time

    I’m from Vancouver, Canada and prior to joining the PMC lab in 2023, I received a BEng in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Victoria in 2018 and a MASc from theย University of British Columbia in 2022. Between my studies, I worked in the pharmaceutical and biomedical automation industries. My main area of interest is electromagnetic sensors and actuators and in my spare time I enjoy painting, tutoring, and travelling.

    I am continuing my journey at MIT after graduating studying mechanical engineering with a focus in musical robotics. I am currentlyย exploring my master’s research direction, but I have a strong interest in designing labย setups, making compelling musical experiences, and making robots dance!

    My primary research focus is the design of a magnetic control moment gyroscope, integrating precision mechanical design principles with electromagnetics. I recently completed my undergraduate degree here at MIT in 2023 and am now pursuing a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering with the PMC lab. In my free time I enjoy devouring books and food alike, often foisting my cooking creations on my friends and colleagues.

    I graduated UofM in 2021 with B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering with an emphasis on mechatronic design, control, and signal processing. I am currently working on developing high-acceleration permanent magnet actuators for semiconductor fabrication applications.

    I graduated from Texas A&M University where I received my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Electrical Engineering. My research interests include controls, dynamics, and mechanical design. I am currently working on developing actuators to enable higher accelerations and increased throughput in semiconductor lithography tools. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors running and rock climbing.

    I am from Los Angeles, California and received my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Caltech in 2021. I'm pursuing my graduate studies in Mechanical Engineering with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) at MIT.  I'm working with Prof. David Trumper and Prof. Matthew Evans on improving the suspensions in LIGO. My current research interest lies in lowering the cross-coupling in LIGO's suspensions in an effort to make the system more sensitive to gravitational waves.
