"In my first year, we did a course that involved programming robots in the language “C”. We had to programme these little robots to run around a course full of sensors and everyone in the class raced each other. I just remember it was a really fun way to put your skills into action."

"During my PhD, I did a lot of unconventional and spontaneous things; I founded the UCL society of women engineers, was a visiting student at MIT, and did multiple internships. It was exhausting. And guess what? they were the most satisfying and fascinating years of my life."
