How I Was Manufactured
Greetings, fellow inhabitants of the cosmos!
My name is Shane Deng. I am currently a Mechanical Engineering Ph.D. student in the Center of Robotics and Biosystems at Northwestern University . My main research focus is on multi-robot design and control.
Previously, I worked at Robomechanics Lab as a research assistant at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Prof. Aaron Johnson. During my graduate studies, I primarily led the autonomous soil sampling robot project. Prior to graduate school, I received my Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin - Madison. I worked with Prof. Peter Adamczyk on the rimless wheel robot project in BADGER Lab.
Internship and Coop experiences at industry giants like ThermoFisher Scientific and Enerpac Tool Group have been integral chapters of my professional journey.
I like to dabble in different things but robotics has always been something that I love since I was little. I am hoping that I could utilize my potential and passion to advance this field.
