Michael P. Kennedy

Mechanical & Nuclear Engineering Student at RPI

About

I'm a junior studying Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). Through coursework and extracurriculars I've developed hands-on experience, taking ideas from theory to physical prototype. I'm currently looking for internships that tackle mechanical and energy-system engineering challenges.
