Hello, I’m Amber.
I’m an engineer who specializes in debugging and building complex physical systems. My work spans mechatronics, embedded systems, rapid prototyping, and data-driven analysis, with a focus on creating systems that perform reliably in real-world environments.
Across projects in robotics, human factors, and interactive systems, I’ve developed a strong ability to bridge hardware and software, troubleshoot at the bench level, and translate experimental results into actionable design decisions.
I’m seeking opportunities on teams that value rigorous engineering, thoughtful design, and cross-functional collaboration—whether in hardware systems development, R&D, robotics, or emerging technologies.
Background
My experiences range from dismantling a lunar rover at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center to designing interactive science exhibits that help kids understand climate change.
I graduated from Yale University in 2021 with a Bachelor of Science in Physics, where I researched the physics of animal locomotion as a Yale STARS Scholar.
I went on to earn a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from UC Berkeley in 2024.
Along the way, I was honored to receive the NASA Space Technology Graduate Research Opportunity (2024) and the Google + Black in Robotics PhD Award (2023).
