Mechanical engineering + robotics

Ezra Kahn

I like machines that make their own constraints obvious.

B.S. Mechanical Engineering · Robotics Minor · Carnegie Mellon University

Born with Pierre Robin sequence, a craniofacial difference, I know firsthand how life-saving surgery and thoughtful design can change a life. Engineering is how I want to turn that urgency into actionable change.

Experience

Activities

Activity CMR

Carnegie Mellon Racing - Structures

  • Contributing to structures work for an electric Formula SAE racecar.
  • Working on battery enclosure design, packaging constraints, and manufacturable hardware.
  • Using CAD and fabrication thinking to balance safety, serviceability, and performance.
Activity Booth

Booth, Side Builds, and Odd Experiments

  • Building quick prototypes, mechanical installations, and team-built structures.
  • Practicing design under constraint with fast fabrication decisions.
  • Keeping space for smaller creative projects that do not need a full case study.

Personal Projects

Personal project In progress

Adaptive Meal-Assist Robotic Arm

  • Assistive feeding arm concept for elderly and disabled users.
  • Developing CAD assembly, degrees-of-freedom layout, and torque study.
  • Leaving the image slot empty until real build media is ready.
