Student Research
Meet Global Studies/Computer Science major Amal Nanavati, who is researching robotic navigational aids for the blind.
He began a research internship abroad where he could apply his technical skills to help underserved populations. His experience in India, where he developed technological aids for the Mathru Educational Trust for the Blind, helped contextualized the impact his work could have on the world. And when he returned, he decided to add a Global Studies major to his academic career.
