ENGINEER.

DESIGNER.

MAKER.

My name is Ita Futran and I recently graduated from MIT. Over the course of my education I have found a passion for robotics and the intersection of mechanical engineering with embedded systems. I appreciate topics such as human interacting robotics, bio-inspired robots, and mobility. I love how versatile humans can be and hope to create machines to accentuate and improve our innate capabilities.

My studies have been primarily centered about mechanical engineering, but I strongly believe that in order to build something great, you have to have a basic understanding of all the parts. To do so, I have further expanded my studies on electrical engineering, programming, and biomechanics. I am excited to learn more and create great things for people. Please reach out to me at ita.futran@gmail.com to chat about any thoughts on technology, research, or job opportunities.
