Katie Popek

Katie Popek graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Nebraska. She received the NSF IGERT Traineeship and the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. Katie earned her Ph.D. in Computing working in the Telerobotics Lab. Her research investigated magnetic localization and propulsion of capsule endoscopes in the intestines. After graduation, Katie took a position at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab.
