Emily Kamienski

I am a Robotics PhD candidate at MIT working in the d’Arbeloff Robotics Lab and am advised by Harry Asada. My research interests include robot design and control for safe dynamic human robot interaction and learning based modeling and estimation of hybrid nonlinear dynamics. Previously, I received my M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from MIT in 2021. I obtained my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Computer Science from Georgia Tech in 2019, where I did undergraduate research primarily with Jonathan Rogers, and spent many an hour on the Formula SAE Team, GTMS. I have held internships at several large engineering companies and plan to work in industry after completing my PhD.
