Canadian Celebration of Women in Computing (CAN-CWiC)

HeART Lab members recently attended the Canadian Celebration of Women in Computing (CAN-CWiC) hosted by CS-Can | Info-Can at York University. We presented our latest work on ‘Designing Small-scale Magnetic Soft Robots using Evolutionary Algorithms’.

All of the attendees were supported by the inaugural CAN-CWiC Travel Grant generously sponsored by the Department of Computing and Software at Faculty of Engineering – McMaster University. Thank you to Dr. Swati Mishra for all her hard work in making this possible. Congratulations to all of the attendees and presenters.

Congrats Shivam

Huge congratulations to Shivam! He placed second in the Master’s category at the MIRA Knowledge Exchange. Way to represent the HeART Lab. Of course, none of this would be possible without the excellent work that he has done in his degree, his ICRA paper and the resulting invention disclosure.
