About

Hi! I'm Annika, a PhD student in mechanical engineering at MIT.

I'm co-advised by Professor Ellen Roche in the Therapeutic Technology Design and Development (TTDD) Lab and Professor Sangbae Kim in the Biomimetic Robotics Lab, with a current research focus on both design and control for minimally invasive robotic surgical systems.

Thank you to the Hertz Fellowship and NSF GRFP for supporting my graduate work, and to the ThinkSwiss Research Scholarship for supporting my 2024 undergraduate research abroad.

Feel free to write me at annikam@mit.edu with any questions about the projects on this website, or if you're interested in collaborating!
