Gwendolyn Rak
I’m a journalist based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who covers consumer electronics as an assistant editor for IEEE Spectrum.
Previously, I've interned for NASA History, Medscape Medical News, and IEEE Spectrum. I received a master's degree from NYU's Science, Health and Environmental Reporting Program in 2023 and hold a bachelor’s degree in astrophysics and history from Swarthmore College.
When not writing and reporting, I enjoy gluten-free baking and going for long walks with my family's dog, Oliver.
