Joshua Li
Mechanical Engineering @ Georgia Tech · Robotics Minor
Hello, my name is Joshua Li, a third-year student studying Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Robotics at Georgia Tech. My main interests are within the realm of space and robotics. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy competing for Georgia Tech's Club Ice Hockey team, building with the GT Solar Racing team, playing the cello, and doing anything active (such as lifting, running, playing tennis, or hiking)! I also love seeing the world and documenting it through photography. Here, you can find my projects, my resume, and more about me!
