Dani is an MIT undergraduate passionate about developing new and innovative biomedical technologies. In high school, she independently founded her own FIRST Robotics Team and led them to the world championship multiple times. Because of her passion in biomedical engineering and her heavy involvement in the robotics community, she was awarded the Bart Kamen Memorial scholarship in honor of Dr. Bart Kamen a passionate doctor and innovator. She looks forward to try and honor his legacy.
Since starting at MIT she has worked with the materials science department to develop completely novel artificial muscle fibers and CSAIL to improve and analyze a new method to 3D Print viscoelastic super dampers. During an internship at HP Labs she also helped improve heat transfer issues in their new line of industrial 3D Printers.
Dani looks forward to work with the Conformable Decoders lab to create energy harvesters and sensors for the human body that could eventually aid people with Parkinson's disease, ALS, and potentially many other diseases.
