Samantha Kang (They/She)

kangsa@oregonstate.edu

2021- Present: Ph.D., Mechanical Engineering

2016 - 2021: Mechanical Design Engineer, HP Inc.

2016 B.S. Mechanical Engineering, University of Washington, Seattle

Samantha's research focuses on the structures of solution principles and their role in the betterment of designs. They are currently studying the intersections between how social norms, like gender, impact long-term design trajectories and decision making. Their work centers on developing theories and models that lead to more equitable design tools and pedagogy. Previously, Samantha was an R&D engineer designing and developing 2D and 3D color printing technology at HP Inc. 

Samantha is advised by Dr. Andy Dong
