About
Sreeja Nag is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of aerospace engineering, education technology, and crowdsourcing innovation. Her most recognized contributions emerge from the SPHERES Zero Robotics program, a pioneering initiative that transformed how spaceflight software is developed by harnessing the collective intelligence of student competitors. Through a series of influential papers published in 2012, Nag explored how collaborative competition — a nuanced form of crowdsourcing that blends cooperation with competitive motivation — could simultaneously advance cluster flight software development aboard the International Space Station and inspire the next generation of STEM learners. Her most cited work, "Collaborative gaming and competition for CS-STEM education using SPHERES Zero Robotics," has accumulated 46 citations, reflecting the broader community's recognition of her novel approach to making complex aerospace challenges accessible to students. Stemming from her dual master's degrees at MIT in Technology and Policy and Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nag's research demonstrated that open-call competitions could produce technically rigorous outcomes while cultivating deep student engagement. Her body of work effectively bridges cutting-edge space systems engineering with transformative pedagogical strategies, leaving a meaningful mark on both fields.
