“ There has to be a mentor who students can look up to – someone to meet with weekly, to show the little tricks of the profession. Someone who will lean over the equipment to show how it works.” Natalia Nikolova believes in the power of mentorship. To help her students succeed, she makes sure to devote as much time as possible to each of them. Using radar technology, Nikolova and her team are developing a scanner for early stage breast cancer detection and a fully automated, concealed weapon detection system. Natalia K. Nikolova Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering
