🎓 Madison Gardner
Join us in congratulating Madison Gardner, a Hilltopper from Louisville, KY, graduating with a major in Computer Science.

“The best part of my WKU experience has been working in the Smart Manufacturing Lab, where I’ve had the opportunity to lead a multidisciplinary research project focused on Industrial Internet of Things and digital twin systems. Being able to collaborate across teams, contribute to published research, and present at conferences has been incredibly rewarding and has shaped both my technical and leadership skills.”

🎯 What’s next for Madison?
After graduation, I will be participating in the ThinkSwiss Research Scholarship this summer, conducting research in robotics and intelligent systems in Switzerland. Following that, I plan to pursue graduate studies and continue research in robotics, smart manufacturing, and intelligent systems, with a focus on Industry 4.0/5.0 technologies. I’m grateful for the confidence and opportunities WKU has given me and excited for all that’s ahead!
