Summary
Andrew Gerchak is a chemical engineering student and hands-on technical leader in Boston who blends automation, embedded systems, and process safety into practical engineering solutions. With a decade of experience leading multidisciplinary teams, he has guided projects from a bionic prosthetic hand that integrates EMG sensors with real-time control to a chemically powered competition car where he managed hydrogen and CO2 safety and SOPs. He brings strong programming chops—Python data analysis, Arduino development, machine learning for biosignals, and lab automation with VBA and Hamilton liquid handlers—to lab and field problems. In research he applied electrochemical modeling and EIS to diagnose novel electrolyte degradation, demonstrating an ability to connect experimental work with quantitative modeling. Known for mentoring peers and translating safety concerns into design changes, he combines rigorous lab practice with pragmatic software and control engineering.
