Summary
Daniel Martinez is a Sr Mechanical Engineer and robotics PhD from Georgia Tech with 11 years of experience designing high-precision electro-mechanical systems for medical devices, industrial automation, and infrastructure inspection. He led development of an MRI-compatible, piezoelectrically actuated robot that enabled sub-millimeter needle guidance and boosted MRI resolution through novel super-resolution techniques—work that produced publications and a U.S. patent. Daniel combines hands-on prototyping and manufacturing optimization with data-driven control methods, from increasing crankshaft throughput in automotive lines to building peristaltic pipe crawlers for power plants. Comfortable bridging research and productization, he has integrated perception, control, and embedded systems across ROS, MATLAB, and Python stacks. He also has a track record of mentoring and leading inclusive student organizations, reflecting a commitment to collaborative innovation beyond the lab.
