Hi there, my name is Lenworth Thomas Jr, but I go by TJ! I’m a 4th year Ph.D. student at Carnegie Mellon University. My research focuses on the intersection between robotics and ecology. I have 8 years of hands-on experience in full-stack robotics and hardware development. I have led projects from early-stage concepts to high-volume deployment, spanning consumer technology, robotics, and automotive, where I’ve demonstrated my ability to be a systems thinker but to also dive deep on technical topics. My thesis focuses on enhancing small autonomous systems for environmental sensing through bio-inspiration. Through multiple peer-reviewed publications, I have demonstrated the ability to communicate and disseminate complex technical work clearly.
Shoot me an email if you have any questions or would like to collaborate: ltjthomas2000@gmail.com.
