Introducing our Women in Technology Panel Speakers

Audrey Sedal:

Audrey Sedal is a mechanical engineering research assistant Professor at McGill University. She completed a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a Master's and Ph.D. in mechanical engineering at the University of Michigan.
Dr. Sedal's research focuses on robotics, soft robotics, experimental mechanics, design optimization, and machine learning for robotics. Soft robots, constructed from pliable and compliant materials, have potential applications in diverse industries, promising both safety and adaptability. Dr. Sedal's work bridges the gap between robotics, solid mechanics, optimization, and machine learning. She combines experimental and theoretical methods to investigate and develop continuous robotic systems that are compliant and adaptable. Her projects include the development of biodegradable, eco-friendly materials for soft robots and the creation of computational models to predict the behaviour of robots made from materials with different "clocks." These models enable safer and more efficient interactions between soft robots and their environment.

Introducing our Women in Technology Panel Speakers

Mariam Jabara

Mariam is in her final semester of her Master’s at McGill University, studying the applications of machine learning in the early detection of type 2 diabetes. Prior to this, she studied Biomedical Science with a minor in Computer Science at the University of Ottawa. Her journey in tech began in 2017 — while working part-time at Apple, she witnessed the impact technology had on a consumer level, especially in healthcare, and was especially moved by the freedom and peace of mind it afforded its users. After taking an introductory course in Python, she was sold and decided to pursue the field and explore how she could blend her background in Biomedical Science with Computer Science. Moving forward, she interned at companies such as Morgan Stanley, Deloitte, and Google, and worked on research projects in the fields of computational neuroscience, deep learning, and digital signal processing. Her journey has inspired her to make knowledge of programming and technology as a whole more accessible, and the field itself more diverse and inclusive.
