About Me

Nicolas G. Morales

I graduated from Purdue University in 2019 with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and minors in Electrical & Computer Engineering and Spanish. After graduating I spent 3 years consulting in the industrial automation space for DMC, Inc. During my time with DMC, I architected and wrote controls software for several high-profile clients in sectors including electric car/battery manufacturing, high speed transportation, cell therapy manufacturing, metalworking, and more.

My passion to continue working with cutting edge technologies in the software, electrical, and mechanical realms led me to pursue a Master’s in Robotics at Northwestern University. While at Northwestern, I worked with a myriad of robotic technologies, including robotic manipulation, SLAM, autonomous navigation, and machine learning. I graduated with my M.S. in Robotics in December 2023.

I’m now developing flight software at Astrobotic to power lunar rovers and improve our access to the moon.
