MiMi Aung (born 1968) is a Burmese-American engineer who studied electrical engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, earning a master's degree in 1990 with a focus on communications and signal processing. She joined the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory that year and worked on the Deep Space Network, on the StarLight two-spacecraft interferometer and on guidance, navigation and control sensors before becoming, from 2015, the lead for development of the Mars Helicopter Ingenuity.
