Adri(ana) Lanza

Hello!  My name is Adri, and I am a fifth-year at Northeastern University pursuing a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a minor in Math. After I graduate in May 2025, I plan to attend graduate school to attain an M.S. and a Ph.D.. 

On campus, I serve as President of Trash2Treasure, a zero-waste club, and as the Mechanical Lead for the NUWave Robotics Team. Outside of academic pursuits, you'll find me immersed in my hobbies. I love to cook and bake; my favorite dish to make at the moment is Shrimp Scampi and I love baking cookies. I'm also a crochet enthusiast. A project I'm working on currently is a blanket with the Northeastern Husky on it. When the weather is nice, I enjoy hiking and walking around outside. My most memorable hike was the Mist Trail at Yosemite National Park.

As an individual deeply committed to sustainability and robotics, I am excited about the positive impact we can make on the world through innovative engineering solutions. 

I am a dedicated and a results-oriented engineer with a focus on marine robotics and ocean sciences. My experience spans leading and collaborating on interdisciplinary projects, with proficiency in software development, electrical systems, and mechanical engineering. I have thrived in dynamic environments, demonstrated through successful roles in coastal engineering research labs and internships at MIT Lincoln Labs, NASA JPL, and WHOI. I am committed to solving complex challenges in ocean exploration and environmental sustainability.
