Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLanssie Ma is an AMES research scientist with 10 years of experience designing human-centered software and mixed-reality interfaces for space and automotive robotics. She combines HCI, human-robot teaming, simulation, and UI/UX design to deliver operational tools—ranging from rover ground software and ROS-based drivers to VR/AR navigation systems and astronaut fitness apps. Her work bridges research and product: leading cross-disciplinary teams, running HITL studies, and translating user findings into features, PRDs, and go-to-market demos (including a funded Nissan fleet-management collaboration). Lanssie pairs rigorous technical skills (C++, Python, Unity/Unreal, React) with hands-on hardware and visualization expertise to validate novel interaction paradigms in realistic testbeds. She holds a PhD-focused background in computational/aerospace engineering and has published and led CHI-bound research on handheld HRI devices, reflecting a rare mix of field-tested systems engineering and user-centric research.
