Hi, my name is
Alexander Brush.
I design and optimize
mechanical systems.
I'm an MIT-trained mechanical engineer specializing in advanced manufacturing and product development. I combine innovative design thinking with data-driven problem-solving to enhance reliability and performance.
About Me
I'm Alexander Brush, a Mechanical Engineer passionate about solving complex challenges through innovative design. My journey began at Regis High School , where I built a strong foundation in problem-solving. At Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), I earned dual degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Design, Innovation & Society, while developing high-performance race vehicle projects with Rensselaer Motorsport.
Now pursuing my Masters of Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), I'm focused on advanced manufacturing and data-driven design. My co-op at Manta Product Development honed my ability to bridge theory and practice, working on real-world engineering problems in collaborative, fast-paced environments. I’m driven by curiosity and a commitment to crafting elegant, functional systems.
