Summary
Andrew Combs is an interdisciplinary engineer blending bioengineering, electrical/computer engineering, and hands-on robotics research with three years of applied experience. Currently a Cornell ORL research assistant developing a tuna-inspired fin-propelled AUV, he spans hardware design, control systems, and full-stack embedded software. He co-founded a stealth startup while serving as an organizer for Cornell Commons’ first hacker house cohort, showing early leadership in community and product-building. Past internships include contributions to high-performance in-situ processing and web-based scientific visualization at Kitware, and ML-driven biological research at NC State and Raleigh Biosciences. Comfortable moving between theory and physical prototypes, he has a track record of turning advanced research concepts into working systems.
