Malia Smith

Hello! I am a mechanical engineer and co-founder of Nami Cleans, where we are developing automated cleaning systems for reusable drinkware.

I recently completed both my Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Mechanical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. During my time at MIT, I conducted research in both the MIT Sports Lab and MIT HAUS group, working on projects spanning data analytics and machine learning, biomechanics, sustainable manufacturing, and large-scale additive manufacturing.

Outside of engineering, I spent four years on the MIT varsity softball team and was actively involved in leadership and service organizations across campus.
