United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEmily Hammes is an engineering consultant with a deep interdisciplinary background spanning biological and chemical engineering, device design, and embedded systems. Over a decade she has led R&D in academic and industry settings—developing microfluidics, tissue-engineering scaffolds, and laboratory automation for in-vitro diagnostics—while applying computational multiphysics modeling to guide design. More recently she pivoted into embedded systems and electronics, building and teaching DIY sensor and kit projects through Hammes Hacks and public maker events. Her work uniquely blends wet-lab experience (toxic gas labs and clinical testing) with hands-on manufacturing and PCB sourcing, enabling practical automation of biological experiments. Recovering from a serious car accident catalyzed her creative maker work and sharpened her focus on roles that combine biological engineering with device/embedded development. She holds advanced degrees in biological and advanced manufacturing disciplines and brings both academic rigor and product-focused prototyping to engineering challenges.
