Who Are the Robotics Mentors?

Every mentor on ScholarsColab already holds a PhD and works at a university or college, so they have been through admission, research, publishing and the PhD journey themselves, and now guide students through it. You can check each mentor's publications and where they were published on their individual profile on ScholarsColab before you book.

  • PhD-qualifiedEvery mentor has completed a doctorate.
  • University and college facultyThey teach, supervise and research at universities and colleges.
  • Proven publication recordTheir published work is listed on their profile, so you can judge its quality yourself.
