About

Nadezhda Kunicina is a leading researcher in cyber-physical systems (CPS) and engineering education, with a focus on integrating robotics and mechatronics into inclusive, inquiry-based learning. Her most-cited work, "State of the Art in the Healthcare Cyber-physical Systems" (2014, 8 citations), explores the convergence of virtual and physical processes in critical domains like medicine, laying foundational insights for CPS applications. She further advances educational technology through "Demonstration of the use of robotics in the development of a scrap processing model for mechatronic education" (2019, 4 citations), where she leverages real-world environmental challenges to teach engineering principles. Her recent study, "Inquiry-Based Learning Focused on Inclusive Education in Programming of Robots" (2022, 2 citations), highlights her commitment to accessible STEM education, documenting challenges and feedback from first-cycle students. Kunicina’s work bridges theoretical CPS frameworks with practical pedagogical tools, impacting both healthcare innovation and engineering curricula. Her research, though modest in citation counts, demonstrates a sustained effort to make complex systems tangible for learners, emphasizing sustainability and inclusivity. She remains a key figure in shaping how future engineers engage with robotics and cyber-physical technologies.
