Robotics Student Awarded 2024 Amazon Robotics Day One Fellowship
Sophia Jonas, MS’26, robotics, is one of seven new fellows selected for the 2024 Amazon Robotics Day One Fellowship, which supports students from underrepresented backgrounds in STEM fields pursuing robotics degrees. Jonas graduated in 2022 from the University of Illinois, where she earned a degree in mechanical engineering with a minor in electrical engineering. After working as a motor engineer at Milwaukee Tool for two years, she is returning to graduate school at Northeastern to work toward her dream career in robotics. She would like to pursue work in human-robot interaction and augmentation, such as exoskeletons, or terrain-based search-and-rescue robots.
