Xuanhe Zhao " Two Important Questions To Ask While Starting Your Soft Robotics Research? "

Inspiring and profound discourse with Prof.Xuanhe Zhao, the head of Zhao Lab at MIT. Prof.Zhao is a world expert and most highly cited researcher in 2018. In the episode, prof. Xuanhe shares with the development of soft materials and polymers, hydrogels, and strides in his lab for addressing grand societal challenges in health and sustainability. I hope you would enjoy this episode.

Sharing Not Positive Results in Our Research Can Tell Us More About Systems and develop stronger systems later. We have to be self-judgemental and honest in sharing research results.

Valuable and intriguing discussion with Beril Sirmacek, an assistant professor at AI lab Jönköping University. Beril is working on developing novel AI frameworks that bring solutions for sustainable and healthy living. She invented farmAR framework at her company create4D, one of the award-winning by EU Commission twice. She has a Youtube channel “school of AI” dedicated to disseminating the knowledge about the AI field. I hope you enjoy the episode.
