I'm Maya.

I make electronics differently.

I work on fabricating new electronics that avoid the violence (both social and environmental) that underpins the traditional semiconductor industry. My work shows how electronic fabrication explore new fabrication paradigms while reducing harm. To be effective, new devices need to be tailored to their specific social, spatial, economic, and environmental contexts.

Currently, I am a PhD student in the Electrical and Systems Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania where I am a GEM fellow, Presidential fellow, and a member of the nanorobotics lab advised by Marc Miskin. I build the world's first microscopic autonomous robots.
