I'm Maya.

I make electronics differently.

I fabricate new electronics that avoid the violence (both social and environmental) that underpins the traditional semiconductor industry. My work explores new fabrication paradigms while reducing harm. To be effective, new devices need to be tailored to their specific social, spatial, economic, and environmental contexts.

Currently, I am a Process Engineer at Atomic Semi in San Francisco. I completed by PhD in the Electrical and Systems Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania in 2025, where I was a GEM fellow, Presidential fellow, and a founding member of the nanorobotics lab advised by Marc Miskin. I built the world's first microscopic autonomous robots.
