About Ghalia Fohami

Hey! I’m a Mechanical Engineering rising sophomore at NYU Abu Dhabi. Currently, I’m exploring robotic manipulation and navigation using Dynamic Movement Primitives (DMPs) to understand how robots how to adapt to real-world forces and perform precise tasks. My goal is to build a deep understanding and develop proper comparisons between traditional robots and upcoming paradigms within the robotic industry which can help us thrive in several fields and our daily lives. Outside the lab, you can find me making music, drawing, traveling, or spending a few too many hours playing video games. Feel free to reach out to discuss whatever comes to heart!
