Ariella Mansfield
PhD, MEAM
Ariella is pursuing her PhD in Mechanical Engineering under the joint supervision of Dr. Ani Hseih and Dr. Cynthia Sung. She is interested in transformable robots, robot path-planning for complex environments, and bio-inspired robotic design. Ariella received her BSc in Mechanical Engineering from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. As an undergraduate, she worked on a broad range of topics: acoustic phenomena in microflows (under the mentorship of Dr. Amir Gat), gecko-inspired tribological surface designs (in Dr. Michael Varenberg’s research group), and control systems (with industry partner Spectrum Engineering).
