Hey! I’m Annie, a MechE junior @ Duke who loves Automation & Art.
That’s why I’m passionate about building robots that we feel comfortable coexisting with.
Growing up in the US but spending the last 10 years in China and bonding with people of different ages and backgrounds, I learned that brave people enjoy the world first. So I took my love for design to launch a sustainable fashion brand for STEM college students who needed versatile and stylish bags to match their busy, multi-faceted lifestyles.
I recently created an improved model of the actuator for MIT’s research quadruped’s aimed at optimizing its performance and reducing cost––I’m currently testing it while redesigning the quadruped’s exterior to make it look more approachable without compromising its performance metrics.
At Duke, you can catch me playing 🏐 with the club team on the main quad or painting another cat meme at the Arts Annex. Right now, I’m catching some waves Down Under 🇦🇺
Last thing about me is that I’m always down to hear a story that makes me want to live through you vicariously. Let’s talk!
