(Female) Engineer of the week by VDI
Honored that VDI (an association of german engineers) featured me as Female Engineer of the week on multiple channels.
While this post is in German, here is the AI-generated translation:
“Female engineers tell us: My job, my path, my motivation. 👭
Every week we publish a short portrait of a colleague here on our channel with a description of her work tasks, interesting hobbies and volunteer tasks. Today we introduce you to Dr.-Ing. Carina Veil!
After completing my doctorate at the University of Stuttgart, I was drawn to sunny California as a postdoc; first to UC San Diego and then to Stanford University. In the meantime, I am conducting research at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology and am preparing for a professorship in the field of control engineering. What fascinates me most about control technology is that it can be used in a wide variety of areas. This is how I want to solve real problems in medical technology and sustainability. I volunteer as chairwoman of the IEEE Engineering Medicine and Biology Society - Germany/Austria/Switzerland Chapter. There I built up a dense network with other researchers. As a first-generation academic and woman in a male-dominated field, my path in science is anything but predetermined. This is precisely why it is important to me to show that it is worthwhile to take unusual paths – and to encourage other female researchers with the same self-doubt. Together we can do it ☺️”
