Wagner helping to ready robot for space while working toward master's degree

Throughout her undergraduate and graduate education, Rachael Wagner has had the opportunity to explore different aspects of engineering, discover a passion for teaching, work for an award-winning surgical robotics startup company and to help prepare a surgical robot for its trip to space.

Now, she’s excited for her next steps as she nears the finish line of her master of science degree in mechanical engineering and applied mechanics with a specialty in systems design and controls and a minor in computer science.

“I’m open to any opportunities that happen to come my way,” she said.
