From micro-robots in the bloodstream to the rover on Mars
On the occasion of the "International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2025", we were able to conduct an interview with D-MAVT alumna Noah Zegna Rothenberger. Noah is a robotics engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, CA. In this interview, she talks about her career in robotics and why she is excited about using robots in extreme environments - whether it is in blood vessels or on Mars.
