Savannah Macero

Savannah was an undergraduate studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She was a member of the Human-Robot Systems Laboratory and the UMass Integrative Locomotion Laboratory in the Department of Kinesiology. She studied the entrainment of gait to mechanical perturbations applied by an ankle exoskeleton. For her senior design project, she worked in a team to develop the UMass inHand gripper, which is a tool designed to be used with a single human hand to train the robot’s arm to perform grasping tasks with greater human-like movement. She was also a member of the UMass Robotics Club and the Delta Mu chapter of Alpha Chi Omega fraternity.  

Outside of the lab, Savannah enjoys dance, working with animals, and going to the gym.

She received her B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2023.
