Hi! I’m Nithila Poongovan, a senior studying Electrical Engineering & Computer Science + Business Administration. My interests lie at the intersection of embedded systems and applied machine learning. I’ve explored embedded systems as a Software Engineering Intern at SpaceX this summer, working on low-level firmware for the Starlink gateways, and as a member of the electrical engineering team on Berkeley Formula Racing. On the machine learning side, I’ve been working in Ana Arias’ lab for the last three years, developing neural networks to account for data interference in the lab’s biodegradable agricultural sensors.
