Meet Dosunmu-Ogunbi, first black woman to earn PhD in Robotics Engineering at Michigan
A Nigerian woman, Oluwami Dosunmu-Ogunbi, has made history after becoming the first Black woman to earn a PhD in Robotics from the University of Michigan in the United States.
According to the University of Michigan’s Robotics Department, Dosunmu-Ogunbi’s academic journey mirrors that of many doctoral students who begin their studies without a clearly defined end goal but grow into accomplished researchers through perseverance and purpose.
