MIT senior Sylas Horowitz has been developing a high-performance, remotely operated vehicle (ROV) that can collect water samples from beneath a sheet of Arctic ice

Sylas Horowitz helped to build and retrofit a Blue ROV to be used in the Canadian High Arctic by the Chemical Sensors Lab. In this feature article, Horowitz says, “I want to relate mechanical engineering to sustainability and environmental justice,” they say. “Engineers need to think about how technology fits into the greater societal context of people in the environment. We want our technology to adapt to the society we live in and for people to be able, based on their needs, to interface with the technology.” Read the full feature here.
