Tahiya Salam is a PhD student studying robotics in the GRASP Lab at the University of Pennsylvania. Her research interests lie at the intersection of multi-robot teams, dynamical systems, and machine learning.

On this episode, we talk with Tahiya about some of the different ways one can have a social impact on the world through research and reflect on what it was like for us to transition from college to grad school. We also dive into research and briefly talk about her work on creating systems for robots to collaborate with each other and close with some advice for grad students starting this fall.
