About
Alvaro Altamirano Visoso
I am a junior at NYU Tandon School of Engineering studying Mechanical Engineering with minors in Computer Science and Aerospace Engineering. I am passionate about space exploration and the design and construction of rockets and extraterrestrial rovers. I am captivated by renewable energies and how they can allow us a greener and better future. And I am very interested in the development of electric vehicles and how they can help pave the way for a zero emission world.
I have developed an expertise in mechanical engineering design by creating and building two Lunar Rovers and a Soft Robotic Finger.
In addition, I have developed comprehensive coding skills that were necessary to complete the mentioned projects. You can find the projects here.
I also have several interests outside engineering. I enjoy greatly reading books from Ernest Hemingway to Jules Verne. I also enjoy playing and watching sports like F1, soccer, tennis, and golf. In addition, I enjoy recharging my energy by hiking, biking and surfing. I like spending time giving back to my community. And lastly, I recharge my creative energy by playing the piano and never missing a song released by Surfaces.
