Hello! My name is Kenny and I am a senior Mechanical Engineering major from Palo Alto, CA. I am currently a team lead on Cornell Baja Racing, a project team that designs and builds off-road buggies to race against other collegiate teams. I am also part of a research lab in the Space Systems Design Studio on a team building a small sat that will be traveling to lunar orbit on the inaugural flight of NASA’s SLS. During my junior year I also participated in Cornell’s engineering co-op program, spending eight consecutive months working on satellite hardware at SpaceX. My favorite place on campus is the Experiential Learning Lab which is in the basement of Upson Hall. Its home to a majority of the project team workspaces and the Emerson Machine Shop where my Baja team machines most of the parts on our car. The ELL also home to Autolab, an automotive garage workspace where we do all our welding and assembly.
