Miranda is a PhD candidate in Aerospace Engineering with the IDEAS Lab, working as a Graduate Student Research Assistant. She has also worked as a Graduate Student Instructor for AE481: Aircraft Design course. Her research interests include uncertainty quantification, formal methods for design, and model based systems engineering for novel and hybridized propulsion concepts. Her long term research goal is to contribute to interdisciplinary and mixed numerical methods for design, including the development of formal models which unify the design of engineered systems and the human factors which conduct that process.

Miranda graduated with a BSAE dual degree in aerospace engineering and political science, with a specialization in systems analysis and international relationship. Her previous research included evaluating trends in group preference and psychology via textual analysis, and data-driven modeling of conflict which combined aerospace flow numerical constructs with heuristic approaches grounded in the social sciences. In graduate school, she has transitioned these research focuses toward electric propulsion and aircraft integration.

Miranda is a student member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and currently serves as Co-Vice President of GEnder Minorities in Aerospace Engineering professional development club at the University of Michigan.
