Biography

Hi, I’m Abhishek! I am a sophomore studying mechanical engineering, originally from Portland, ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ. Within mechanical engineering, I’m especially interested in robotics and product design, where I can combine creativity with problem-solving to build innovative solutions. 

I currently work in the OPEnS Lab, which focuses on developing environmental sensing devices for research and field applications. Being part of this lab has given me hands-on experience with design, prototyping, and testing real-world projects. 

On campus, I’m also involved in the Engineering Student Council and the OSU Makerspace, where I enjoy collaborating with other students on creative engineering ideas. Outside of class, I like building model kits, 3D printing, and going to the gym to unwind. 

After graduation, I hope to work in robotics or product design at a startup where I can take an active role in shaping new technology and products.
