Learning Made Easier

Naveena Pandillapally
Master of Applied Science, Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science


I feel very lucky in terms of the equipment access that I have at the labs and the expertise available to me as a graduate student. Conducting experiments is made easier since we have all kinds of equipment that allows us to prototype ideas. With everything I have learned, I was recently able to successfully defended my master’s thesis, “Force-Based Control of UGVs by using Physical Human-Robot Interaction”. Thank you to the donors who believe in helping students like me reach our highest potential and contribute to the community.

After I graduate, I plan on working towards contributing to the field of Rescue Robotics and eventually come back to school for my PhD.
