About Me

Hi! I’m Katelyn and I study Mechanical Engineering (B.S. + M.S.) at Stanford University. I specialized in Dynamic Systems & Controls in my undergraduate degree, and I’m currently completing my master’s with a depth in Mechatronics and Robotics.

My research interest is in ways to improve robotic manipulation through design and control. I am currently a researcher in the Stanford Assistive Robotics and Manipulation Lab (ARMLab) on grasping teleoperation and imitation. I am also conducting research in the Salisbury Robotics Lab, in collaboration with the Stanford Neuroscience Health Center, to develop robotic surgical instruments to aid in repair of cerebral aneurysms.

In my undergrad, I established the ASME Stanford Student Section and served as President for two years. I was also the Co-President of Engineers for a Sustainable World, during which I organized a yearly two-quarter course sequence to carry out engineering projects with international community organizations.
