Nana Obayashi (大林菜々)
I am a PhD student at the CREATE Lab at EPFL, advised by Prof. Josie Hughes. My research is to design bio-inspired robots that intelligently uses its morphology (or its shape) in the fluid environment.
I completed my master's studies in aerospace engineering at Georgia Tech with Prof. Lakshmi Sankar. I have experience as an aerodynamics and performance engineer in the aerospace and automotive industries.
