Mechanical Engineering — Stanford University
Hi, my name is
Ellia Cavanaugh
I am a student at Stanford University majoring in mechanical engineering and minoring in electrical engineering. I am fascinated by the way mathematics can describe the physical world – from the flow of water across a mountain to the behavior of a tiny mechanical structure. I enjoy sitting with difficult problems, exploring the details, and building models, experiments, and machines that help me understand how complex systems behave.
