Benjamin Cellini
Research Assistant at Penn State University
State College, Pennsylvania, United States
Summary
🎓
Top SchoolBenjamin Cellini is a PhD candidate and research assistant at Penn State with eight years of engineering experience focused on the mechanics and dynamics of insect flight and bio-inspired control systems. He investigates how Drosophila demultiplexes a single visual input into coordinated head, body, and wing actuation to inform insect-scale robotic design. His background blends hands-on R&D in precision motion systems—developed during multi-year internships at Kulicke & Soffa—with computational modeling and FEA for tissue and materials applications. Skilled in systems dynamics, control, C++, Matlab, and experimental design, he bridges mechanical design, sensing, and neuromechanical experimentation. Based in State College, PA, he leverages Penn State’s labs to translate biological insight into engineering solutions. An under-the-radar strength is his track record of micron-scale measurement and instrumentation work that underpins highly repeatable experimental systems.
