Mary Gallerneault, a Materials Engineering PhD Candidate, is Queen's newest IBET Momentum Fellowship Recipient

I chose to pursue my doctorate in Materials Engineering because I want to be at the forefront of developing the next generation of tools for manufacturing, to help reduce waste and improve efficiency at scale. AI is a powerful tool emerging from its infancy into everyday use, and it can be leveraged to make big impacts in engineering challenges, including waste reduction, quality assurance and process optimization.” Mary Gallerneault

I chose to pursue a Master's of Biomechanical Engineering because I wanted to combine both engineering and healthcare principles in my research. The ability to use data analysis and mathematical modeling to analyze human motion is fascinating, as it allows for research and healthcare treatments to be developed for the betterment of society.”   - Jacob Calderone
