Celebrating Black History Month: Computer vision to reconstruct lost history, and chemistry as ‘a beacon of hope’

In honor of Black History Month, Princeton Engineering spoke with Black women engineers from two generations. Corey Toler-Franklin, now an assistant professor at Barnard College and Columbia University, was the first African American to earn a Ph.D. in computer science from Princeton. Janice Kankolongo is a junior majoring in chemical and biological engineering who leads Princeton’s chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers.
