Ty Todd

I am self-motivated, driven, and love applying myself to things that force me to grow personally and professionally. I am passionate about solving some of the most pressing problems in the world through engineering. I understand what it takes to be part of a Tier 1 university research team. For three years, I was part of The Pennsylvania State University environmental science research team and worked with senior research faculty. As part of the team, I worked on cutting-edge environmental science research, including a mobile, low-cost internet-connected particulate matter sensor for a research project in West Africa. Working on the project was meaningful to me because not only did I win my first national science competition, but I was also able to significantly impact many people's lives. I want to continue to be part of work that is not only innovative, but also transformative to the community. 

​

Currently, I am pursuing a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. My primary interest is robotics, embedded systems, and app development. In addition to working on research, I also love doing side projects to learn new skills.
