My name is Ita Futran and I am a mechanical engineering student at MIT. Over the course of my education I have found a passion for the intersection of biology and robotics. I appreciate topics such as mobility, bio-inspired robots, biomimicry, and human interacting robotics. I love how versatile humans can be and hope to create modular robots with programmable 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 robots for people. Please reach out to me at icfutran@mit.edu to chat about any thoughts on technology, research, or job opportunities.
