Brooklin Cohen '14
Following her time at Archer, Brooklin graduated with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Clarkson University in northern New York. Throughout college, she completed two internships and a semester-long co-op at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where she now works as a Mechatronics Engineer. Since joining JPL full time in 2018, she has been working on operations development for the Adaptive Caching Assembly within the Sampling and Caching Subsystem on the Mars Perseverance rover. She now leads the team dedicated to the Adaptive Caching Assembly and has recently started a new role spanning Robotics, Systems, and Mechanical Engineering on the Sample Transfer System of the Mars Sample Return Lander that will be responsible for returning rock samples collected by the Perseverance rover to Earth.
During her time at Archer, Brooklin was in one of the first Honors Research in Science classes and has since contributed to the program post-graduation by serving as a judge for the Archer STEM Research Grants in 2018 and 2019, and more recently the Archer STEM Symposium in 2022.
