Graduate Student, Mechanical Engineering StudentHaving attended my undergrad at MIT as well, it seems to me that I have here for so long that any previous aspects of my life have become irrelevant. I can dimly recall that I grew up in NYC and that I've lived in Korea for 3 yrs.
Research interests:
I like all types of machines, but I have chosen to focus on precision design - machines that can operate in the micro/nano scale. My project is on developing the next generation optics for x-ray telescopes. This is a NASA funded project and is related to the work of the Goddard group.
