¶¡ÏãÔ°AV is one of the best schools in Canada in the field of Robotics. It has knowledgeable faculty members and well equipped research labs. I entered ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV to work alongside great researchers on the edge of science Robotic problems.
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR RESEARCH OR YOUR PROGRAM TO A FAMILY MEMBER?
I help to improve Robot's intelligence to be able to use them at home or shopping centers, etc. to make people's life easier.
WHAT ARE YOU PARTICULARLY ENJOYING ABOUT YOUR STUDIES/RESEARCH AT ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV?
Working alongside an active team of researchers as well as knowledgeable and fun faculty members on interesting robotic problems .
HAVE YOU BEEN THE RECIPIENT OF ANY MAJOR OR DONOR-FUNDED AWARDS? IF SO, PLEASE TELL US WHICH ONES AND A LITTLE ABOUT HOW THE AWARDS HAVE IMPACTED YOUR STUDIES AND/OR RESEARCH.
I am a Graduate Dean Entrance Scholarship(GDES) winner that helped me to have enough funding for doing a proper PhD. Suitable income can help a researcher to focus only on research problems and reduces stress of living in an expensive city like Vancouver.
