Senior🎓
Top SchoolLaura Connolly is a Malone Postdoctoral Fellow at Johns Hopkins University with eight years of experience at the intersection of electrical engineering, medical robotics, and cancer diagnostics. She earned her B.A.Sc, M.A.Sc, and is completing a PhD in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Queen’s University, where she combined hands-on lab leadership with teaching undergraduate robotics and AI courses. Her research has focused on applying Raman spectroscopy and machine learning to improve breast cancer imaging and interventions, translating sensing innovations into clinically relevant tools. Laura has a strong record as a student researcher and lab manager, plus international exposure as a visiting scholar at Johns Hopkins before securing her current postdoc. Beyond the bench, she led community-focused assistive-device 3D printing efforts and participated in a student-run venture fund, showing an uncommon blend of technical depth, project management, and community engagement. Colleagues describe her as a pragmatic experimentalist who rapidly moves prototypes toward real-world testing in clinical contexts.
