I am Cole Abbott, an engineer, maker and artist with a passion for bringing my ideas to life. I am currently at Northwestern University pursuing a Bachelors and a Masters in mechanical engineering with a concentration in robotics. At Northwestern, I am part of the NU Baja SAE engineering team, where we design, build, and race an offroad racecar. I also do research in the HAND ERC, where I work on an eskin project. I also work as an advanced trainer in the segal design shop where I train engineers to use tools such as mills and lathes, and assist students with their projects.

I'm always building something new, whether it's a 3D printed robot arm, or a metal sculpture. I love the process of taking an idea from concept to creation, and I'm always looking for new challenges to tackle. My skills include CAD design, 3D printing, CNC machining, electronics, programming, and welding.

When I'm not working on projects, I'll be leading hiking trips in the outdoors, rock climbing in Wisconsin, or competing for the Northwestern sailing team.
