Hello!

I am Hima Pamu, currently a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering - Research track student at the Carnegie Mellon University. I am working on simulating musclature using PyElastica and modeling muscle adaptability as a graduate student researcher at Biohybrid and Organic Robotics Group (B.O.R.G.). I am interested in design, manufacturing and simulation problems in engineering, My work at BORG focuses on developing biohybrid robot simulation tools.

I graduated with a B.S. in mechanical engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). My undergrad research endeavors include designing flexible connectors for elastomeric actuators to build an actuator mesh under Dr. Girish Krishnan. Simultaneously, I worked with Dr. Gabriel Juarez to design a hydrodynamic treadmill for observing bacteria growth on oil interfaces. In addition, I volunteered at the MechSE Innovation Studio in my free time, where I assisted students in 3D printing and troubleshooting manufacturing problems.

My past and current projects are listed in the Portifolio page. A complete list of my experiences and proficiencies is on the CV page. A PDF version of my resume is also available at the top of that page.
