Lucca Correia

At Cornell, I work in the Helbling Robotics Research Lab, where I contribute to the design of autonomous insect-scale robots capable of sustained operation in real-world environments. I also served as the Mechanical Subteam Lead for Nexus, a Cornell Project Team developing an autonomous beach-cleaning rover to remove microplastics from sand. These experiences have enhanced my ability to fuse mechanical design with system-level integration and management through close collaboration with multidisciplinary engineering teams.

This past summer, I interned at Amazon Robotics in North Reading, MA, where I contributed to the design, build, and scaling of next-generation robotic systems. I also previously worked at humanoid startup Foundation Robotics in San Francisco and The MITRE Corporation in Bedford, MA.

Outside the lab, I am an active member of the Cornell United Soccer Club Team and a lifelong competitive USSA and FIS ski racer.
