Matteo Paz
about
I study electrical engineering at MIT. I’m interested in the design of nonstandard embodiments, including force-based approaches and dexterous manipulation.
Most recently I was a mechatronics engineer at Optica Industries. Prior to that, I held an office at Caltech leading a large scale astronomical study using archival data.
I’m also a venture partner for Contrary, looking for exceptional people who are early on.
I grew up in Los Angeles. In my free time, I write on my acoustic guitar, and I enjoy urban exploration.
