Engineering Physics → Robotics

Luca Byrnes

I design intelligent machines that behave predictably.

Machine perception, controls, and real-time systems.

I'm an MSE Robotics student at UPenn, concentrating in machine perception and feedback/control. I'm interested in autonomy for aerospace and marine systems that operate reliably in harsh conditions and expand what's possible.

I previously studied Engineering Physics at Tufts and have worked with complex sensing systems in the defense space. My experience from working on submarine-sonar systems integration to embedded development, for remote sensors, has sharpened how I think about constraints, latency/power budgets, and safety.

Skills: Machine perception, feedback/control, PCB design, embedded development, CAD
Languages: Python, C++, Matlab, ROS2
