Hi! I’m Amanda Chung, pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Music at MIT (‘27).
I’m interested in the intersection of design and social impact, particularly how mechanical engineering, manufacturing, and robotics can be used to solve real-world problems and make a tangible difference in people’s lives. I enjoy hands-on design and bringing ideas to life, from early-stage concepts to functional, manufacturable solutions.
Within LAMA, I’m helping to design a robotic violin bowing mechanism to support research into more sustainable alternatives to traditional violin bow materials.
Outside of work, I am often making music - whether that’s singing, playing the ukelele, or the flute - acting, eating good food, or simply spending time with friends and family.
