Introduction
My name is Hannes Daepp and I am a Ph.D. candidate in mechanical engineering at Georgia Tech as part of the Intelligent Machines and Dynamics Laboratory (IMDL). My research is related to control of systems with inherent flexibility, focusing particularly on pneumatic systems in the context of a fluid-powered legged robot.
About Me
I received my B.S. in mechanical engineering at Tufts University. Over the course of my undergraduate career, I was fortunate enough to be able to study various areas of mechanical engineering in my courses, labs, and internships at home and abroad, broadening my perspective of the field as a whole. In particular, research positions at a Fraunhofer Institute and Virginia Tech led me to realize that I wanted to further my education and pursue a higher degree. These experiences, along with projects such as my senior thesis in the development of a jellyfish-inspired actuator as well as a senior design project in medical device design, helped to develop my interest in the fields of mechatronics and robotics.
