Dr. Mubenga Interviewed for Inaugural University of Toledo College of Engineering Town Hall Event of June 23, 2020
Dr. Ngalula Sandrine Mubenga, Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering Technology at the University of Toledo (UT) was honored to be the guest of Dr. Michael Toole, Dean of the College of Engineering. The virtual town hall event was moderated by Jennifer Hall, Director of Development at UT and was initially broadcast live on June 23, 2020. Topics discussed included the origin of her passion for electrical engineering, her journey from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to the University of Toledo, and her many accomplishments as an inventor, educator, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. Dr. Toole is especially interested in the way she recently led an international team of volunteers organizing a COVID-19 response project in the DRC to combat a shortage of ventilators.
The University of Toledo introduced the event by reporting the following:
Dr. Mubenga initially felt powerless about the pandemic but ultimately found a way for people in her native country to build their own breathing machines using equipment and materials accessible to them. Dr. Mubenga will share how she organized a team and devised a truly innovative plan to save lives amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Some of the team members are recipients of STEM scholarships awarded by Dr. Mubenga’s non-profit organization, the STEM DRC Initiative, which funded 60 Scholarships in the Congo in the last academic year (UT, 2020)..
