Portfolio | Agnes Robang

Agnes is an SM student in the department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT interested in the intersection of numerical methods, high-performance computing, and their application to complex systems and phenomena.

Previously, she was an Associate Engineer at Capture6, contributing to cutting-edge carbon removal technologies that offer dual benefits for both the climate and water sectors. Prior to joining Capture6, Agnes was a System Modeling Engineer at Noble Thermodynamic Systems, Inc. where she modeled combustion behavior for hydrogen-natural gas mixtures, and she was a Junior Data Engineer at Sakay.ph where she built geostatistical tools and conducted an analysis on the Public Utility Vehicle Modernization Program in Metro Manila, Philippines.

Agnes graduated from Princeton University in 2023 where she wrote a senior thesis entitled Deep learning modeling of the filtered generalized progress variable dissipation rate in turbulent premixed combustion, advised by Prof. Michael E. Mueller. ​​

Outside of work and research, Agnes is passionate about transportation and urban planning (especially trains and container ships), art history (especially in existentialism and abstract expressionism), and books (especially post-war fiction).
