About

Jessica L. Rosenberg is an emerging leader in STEM education and biologically inspired robotics, with a focused commitment to making engineering accessible to high-school learners. Her key research areas center on the design and implementation of hands-on outreach programs that introduce students to underwater robotics through lighter-than-air (LTA) vehicles—an innovative approach that lowers barriers to entry while maintaining technical rigor. Her most-cited work, "Work-in-Progress: Development of a new hands-on STEM program for biologically inspired maritime robotics" (2024, 3 citations), details the prototype kit development aimed at 9th–12th graders, blending bio-inspiration with practical engineering challenges. A companion paper, "Lessons Learned in the Development of a STEM Outreach Program for Biologically Inspired Underwater Robotics" (2024, 2 citations), captures critical insights from program implementation, offering a roadmap for educators and researchers seeking to replicate or adapt such initiatives. Though early in her career, Rosenberg’s contributions are already shaping how robotics education can be both inclusive and engaging, with a clear emphasis on real-world impact. Her work stands as a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in the intersection of marine biology, control systems, and community-based learning.
