Oluwami “Wami” Dosunmu-Ogunbi just made University of Michigan history as the first Black woman to earn a PhD in Robotics. The daughter of Nigerian immigrants, Wami overcame early academic setbacks and went on to develop groundbreaking research under the mentorship of professors Chad Jenkins and Jessy Grizzle. Now, as she takes the stage to speak at U-M’s commencement, she hopes to inspire future engineers to lead with innovation, inclusion, and service for the common good.
