    <p>An interview with UMBC Computer Science Ph.D. student Kavita Krishnaswamy appeared in a <a href="https://umbcalumni.wordpress.com/2015/08/11/opportunities-through-robotics-kavita-krishnaswamy-07/?socialpromo" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">recent post</a> on the UMBC Alumni Blog.</p>
    <blockquote>
    <p>Every so often, we’ll chat with an alum about what they do and how they got there. Today we’re talking with Kavita Krishnaswamy ’07, mathematics and computer science. Krishnaswamy has spinal muscular atrophy and has not been able to leave her house in six years. Thanks to Beam Telepresence Technology, a robotic program that allows her to remotely view and navigate spaces through her computer screen, she’s presented her doctoral thesis and attended conferences across the country. The current Ph.D. student talks about her experience with the Beam and her research on robotics and accessibility.</p>
