Justin Massie
Hello! I am a senior at Old Dominion University, studying electrical engineering with a minor in biomedical engineering. I am hugely interested in robotics and control systems. Prior to academia, I served in the U.S. Army for three years as infantry, with a deployment to Baqubah, Iraq. I spend my free time working on additional projects, such as an autonomous vehicle; practicing programming, and drinking exceptional bourbon.
