Jacob (Yaakov) Zerykier

Hello there! 

I'm Jacob Zerykier (Zeh-Rih-Kher), but many call me Ya'akov (Ya'ah-Cove). I'm a master's student and former undergrad at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, MA, pursuing a (2 year) Master of Science (S.M.) in Mechanical Engineering (Course 2 in MIT speak).

At MIT, I've previously been a part of the Solar Electric Vehicle Team (SEVT), where we design, build, and race multi-occupant, solar-powered cars; as well and the Committee on Curricula (CoC), where I helped shape MIT's undergraduate subjects. I'm currently a researcher within the Precision Engineering Research Group (PERG) working on the design of planetary traction drives for ships. 

On this website, you can view my formal resume, see some of the projects I've worked on, and get in touch with me.
