Amanda is a senior at Bucknell University majoring in Computer Engineering and minoring in Legal Studies. She is a Presidential Fellow and has been a member on Professor Buffinton’s soft-robotics research team as part of her fellowship since August 2017. She has held multiple roles on this project at different times and has completed a variety of tasks including creating FREEs, using Arduino to test FREE rotation, and automating the FREE creation process. Currently, she is working on creating a 3D printed part in SolidWorks that can hold the FREEs around a human arm.
Post graduation, Amanda will be going into the field of business consulting. The office she plans to work in is small, similar to a start-up, so while her main focus is business, she will also be able to work with technological platforms such as Salesforce and AWS.
Outside of her research in soft-robotics, Amanda is involved in Her Campus, Greek Life, and other engineering groups such as SWE and ACM.
