Bio

Thank you for visiting my profile! My name is Dante Morisi, and I am an avid first-generation student from Howell, New Jersey. I am currently an undergraduate student studying mechanical engineering with a concentration in automation and robotics at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I love to learn, especially if it relates to math or science, and apply those lessons to improve the lives of those around me. I have competed in various engineering and STEM competitions throughout my academic career, including the NJSBA Steam Tank Challenge in which my team and I won first place in the state for our innovation to improve student safety on school buses. As a first generation student, and a recipient of the College Board Small Town and Rural Recognition award, I am grateful for the opportunities my parents have given me to further my passion in science, technology, and helping my community. In the future, I hope to attend graduate school and work for an engineering firm that combines mechanics with artificial intelligence to improve the human condition.
