About

Hi, my name is Anna Lu, and I use they/them pronouns. I am from Lansdale, PA, and have lived near Philly for most of my life. As a Chinese-American, I love visiting Philly’s Chinatown for bubble tea and pineapple bread. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, thrifting, and trying new foods. I travel often and have recently been to Iceland, Norway, Belgium, and Japan. Over the summer, I climbed Mt. Fuji to its highest peak. It was super tough, and I’m so excited to never do anything like that ever again!

Career Goals

I want to be an engineer, but I’m not completely sure what type yet. I am mainly interested in robotics and materials engineering, but I am also interested in prosthetic engineering. Additionally, I plan on minoring in computer science, but I have not officially declared a minor yet.

Interests

I am interested in materials science and soft robotics, and I am currently doing research with a professor. Outside of academics, I enjoy playing violin in the university orchestra. I also have a background in martial arts and boxing, and sometimes try out Muay Thai and BJJ clubs in Philly.

Looking For

I’m looking for someone to provide professional and academic guidance, support, and insights. I will be applying for co-ops soon, and it would be nice to talk to someone who has been through the process. Additionally, I would like to get a chance to network with others in STEM fields who may have more experience. At the same time, I am also looking to make some friends and get to know more people. I’m hoping that by getting a mentor I can get more involved in SASE and at Drexel.
