WIMPY, HANNAH G.
ORIGIN:Franklin, TN
BASE:Boston, MA
FOCUS:Autonomy Software for Physical Systems

I got my start in ML research at Northeastern's Plant Lab and Harvard Med's Bean Lab, building closed-loop systems that ran experiments on their own. That work pulled me toward the hardware itself, so I built (and sold!!) a venture in the field.

Now I'm at Amca building autonomous aerospace qualification testing of flight hardware, after shipping Lila Sciences' integration layer for autonomous sample handling. On the side, I'm building a patent-pending contamination-aware sampling venture with decision-theoretic planning over robotic field work.

Self-designed my B.S. at Northeastern (CS + Physics, concentrations in Robotics and Biochem) as a full-ride Stamps Scholar; pursuing my M.S. in Robotics in parallel under Hanumant Singh.
