Summary
Mikhail Khrenov is a PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon’s EMIT Lab who blends control theory, metallurgy, and autonomous systems to improve Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing quality. With a decade of hands-on experience across design, fabrication, CNC, and printer-farm operations, he couples firmware and dynamical-systems simulation skills with practical CAD and electronics expertise. His prior roles managing Terrapin Works and contributing to medical and collaborative robotics show a track record of translating research into manufactured solutions. Outside academia he sharpens rapid prototyping and systems-integration instincts by building and competing with combat robots, a pursuit that informs his pragmatic approach to robust control and mechanical design.
