My name is Jackson Adams. I’m a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Northwestern University, concentrating in Aerospace Engineering and pursuing the Segal Design Certificate.

I approach engineering through a design lens that values clarity, efficiency, and sustainability. My work is inspired by an interest in how long-standing engineering solutions can be reinterpreted through modern technology. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, I developed an appreciation for legacy craftsmanship and industrial design, which now informs my approach of blending time-tested forms with contemporary materials, analysis, and fabrication methods.

Outside of class, I work hands-on with projects ranging from the electrical and mechanical systems of a custom-built boat to developing a sustainable surfboard brand. Previously, I worked at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, contributing to the design, testing, and deployment of hardware systems for nuclear smuggling detection programs. This upcoming summer, I’ll be joining Corning Incorporated as a Manufacturing Engineering Intern, working in life sciences ceramics and applying my skills across design, manufacturing, and process improvement.
