Jack Campanella
Electrical and Computer Engineer Intern, Student Researcher, Team Lead of Autonomous RC Car Project, President of the Rowan Robotics and Automation Society, and a Robotics Master of Science in Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania in the GRASP Lab with a Bachelors of Science in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Rowan University.
My passion for robotics and engineering drives me to pursue the work, research, projects, and leadership experiences I have been part of. I am often known for my time as an engineering intern working on drone light shows at Verge Aero or my passion for working on my autonomous RC cars, Clifford and Greyhound.

Research Projects
As an undergraduate researcher with Rowan University’s Computer Science Department, I am working on a National Science Foundation funded research project to test and verify the implementation of a machine learning algorithm for driving a model car with custom Robot Operating System modules alongside a team of students I assembled to direct research goals, define project scope, and delegate design tasks with my guidance.
As an undergraduate researcher with Rowan University’s Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Institute, I am working to understand the effect of induction heating on eddy currents present in carbon to perform pyrolysis to create carbon-carbon composites. This is related to my additional work with Rowan AMMI as the design lead for a lab bench induction furnace rated for 400 kHz and prototyped for industrial applications.
