Thaum nws tsis soj ntsuam tib neeg lub cev muaj zog, tus tub ntxhais kawm tiav muab rov qab los ntawm kev ua haujlwm pub dawb nrog cov kev pab cuam uas pab nws loj hlob raws li tus kws tshawb fawb hauv kev sib cuam tshuam ntawm tib neeg-neeg hlau hauv kev kho mob.
Ib tug ua tiav MIT cov tub ntxhais kawm tshawb fawb hauv kev kho mob robotics nrog ntau cov nyiaj pab kawm ntawv thiab kev sib raug zoo, A. Michael West tsis quav ntsej txog qhov nws xaiv nws txoj hauv kev.

"Kuv zoo li poob rau hauv," tus kws kho tshuab engineering PhD tus neeg sib tw hais tias, ntxiv tias loj hlob hauv suburban California, nws muaj kev sib raug zoo, kis las - thiab ua lej zoo. "Kuv muaj qhov kev xaiv classic: Koj tuaj yeem yog kws kho mob, kws lij choj, lossis tus kws tshaj lij."
Tau pom nws niam qhov chaw nyob nyuaj siab thaum nws tab tom kawm ua tus kws kho mob thiab zoo li nws tsis nyiam nyeem ntawv thiab sau ntawv txaus los ua tus kws lij choj, "Tus kws ua haujlwm sab laug," nws hais.
Hmoov zoo, nws nyiam physics hauv tsev kawm theem siab vim hais tias, "nws tau muab lub ntsiab lus rau cov lej uas peb tau kawm hauv lej," thiab tom qab ntawd, nws qhov loj hauv engineering engineering ntawm Yale University pom zoo nrog nws.
"Kuv twv yuav raug hu nrog nws," West hais. "Kuv nyiam qhov kuv kawm."

Raws li cov neeg laus nce siab hauv Yale, West tau raug xaiv los koom nrog Qhov Kev Tshawb Fawb Txog Caij Ntuj Sov (MRP). Qhov kev zov me nyuam txheeb xyuas cov neeg kawm tiav qib siab los siv lub caij ntuj sov ntawm MIT lub tsev kawm ntawv, ua kev tshawb fawb nrog kev cob qhia ntawm MIT kws qhia ntawv, postdocs, thiab cov tub ntxhais kawm tiav los npaj cov neeg koom nrog rau kev kawm tiav.
Nyob rau sab hnub poob, MSRP yog ib qho kev kawm hauv "tsev kawm ntawv qib siab tiag tiag, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog qhov nws yuav zoo li ntawm MIT."
Nws kuj yog, thiab qhov tseem ceeb tshaj plaws, qhov kev lees paub tias West tuaj yeem ua tiav hauv qib siab ntawm kev kawm.
"Nws tau ua rau kuv muaj kev ntseeg siab los thov rau cov tsev kawm ntawv qib siab, kom paub tias kuv tuaj yeem pab txhawb ntawm no thiab ua tiav," West hais. "Nws ua rau kuv muaj kev ntseeg siab heev rau kev taug kev mus rau hauv chav tsev thiab mus cuag cov neeg uas pom tseeb paub ntau dua li kuv ua txog qee cov ncauj lus."

Nrog MSRP, West kuj pom ib lub zej zog thiab ua phooj ywg nyob mus ib txhis, nws hais. Nws hais tias "Nws zoo nyob hauv qhov chaw uas koj tuaj yeem pom ntau haiv neeg tsawg hauv kev tshawb fawb, uas MSRP yog," nws hais.
Tau txais txiaj ntsig los ntawm MSRP qhov kev paub dhau los, West tau muab rov qab thaum nws nkag rau hauv MIT los ntawm kev ua haujlwm ua MRSP pawg thawj coj rau ob lub caij ntuj sov. "Koj tuaj yeem tsim qhov kev paub dhau los no rau tib neeg tom qab koj," nws hais.
Nws txoj kev koom tes ua tus thawj coj thiab tus cob qhia hauv MSRP tsuas yog ib txoj hauv kev uas West tau nrhiav kev muab rov qab. Raws li kev kawm tiav, piv txwv li, nws tau ua tus thawj tswj hwm ntawm nws lub tsev kawm ntawv National Society of Black Engineers tshooj, thiab ntawm MIT, nws tau ua tus tuav nyiaj rau Black Graduate Student Association thiab Academy of Courageous Minority Engineers.
"Tej zaum nws tsuas yog tsev neeg xwb," West hais tias, "tab sis ua ib tug neeg Asmeskas Dub, kuv niam kuv txiv tau tsa kuv ua ib txoj hauv kev uas koj nco ntsoov koj tuaj qhov twg, koj nco ntsoov tias koj cov poj koob yawm txwv tau dhau los."
West txoj kev tshawb fawb tam sim no - nrog Neville Hogan, Sun Jae xibfwb hauv Mechanical Engineering, hauv Eric P. thiab Evelyn E. Newton Laboratory rau Biomechanics thiab Human Rehabilitation - kuj yog tsom rau kev pab lwm tus, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog cov uas tau raug mob orthopedic lossis neurological raug mob.
"Kuv tab tom sim nkag siab tias tib neeg tswj hwm thiab tswj lawv lub zog li cas los ntawm kev suav lej," nws hais. "Yog tias koj muaj txoj hauv kev los ntsuas qhov kev txav mus los, ces koj tuaj yeem ntsuas nws zoo dua thiab siv qhov ntawd rau cov neeg hlau, ua cov cuab yeej zoo dua los pab hauv kev kho dua tshiab."
Hauv 2022, West tau raug xaiv los ua MIT-Takeda tus khub. Cov MIT-Takeda Program, kev sib koom tes ntawm MIT Lub Tsev Kawm Ntawv ntawm Engineering thiab Takeda Pharmaceuticals Company, feem ntau txhawb kev siv cov kev txawj ntse txawj ntse los pab tib neeg noj qab haus huv. Raws li Takeda Fellow, West tau kawm txog lub peev xwm ntawm tib neeg txhais tes los tswj cov khoom thiab cov cuab yeej.
West hais tias Takeda Fellowship muab sijhawm rau nws los tsom mus rau nws txoj kev tshawb fawb, cov nyiaj pub rau nws tso tseg tsis ua haujlwm ua tus pab qhia. Txawm hais tias nws nyiam kev qhia thiab cia siab tias yuav tau txais txoj haujlwm ua haujlwm raws li tus xibfwb tom qab tau txais nws PhD, nws hais tias lub sijhawm kev cog lus cuam tshuam nrog kev ua tus pab qhia yog qhov tseem ceeb. Nyob rau xyoo peb ntawm nws PhD, West tau mob siab txog 20 teev hauv ib lub lis piam mus rau txoj haujlwm qhia.
Nws hais tias "Muaj sijhawm ntau los tshawb fawb yog qhov zoo," nws hais. "Kev kawm yam koj xav kawm txog thiab ua qhov kev tshawb fawb ua rau koj mus rau kauj ruam tom ntej."
Qhov tseeb, hom kev tshawb fawb uas West ua yog tshwj xeeb tshaj yog siv sijhawm. Qhov no tsawg kawg yog ib nrab vim tib neeg tswj lub cev muaj zog muaj ntau yam tsis siv neeg, kev ua haujlwm subconscious uas yog qhov nyuaj rau kev nkag siab.
"Yuav ua li cas cov neeg tswj cov complex, subconscious systems? Kev nkag siab tias yog ib qho kev ua haujlwm qeeb. Ntau qhov kev tshawb pom tsim los ntawm ib leeg. Koj yuav tsum muaj kev nkag siab zoo txog qhov paub, dab tsi yog qhov kev xav ua haujlwm, qhov twg yog qhov kuaj tau, qhov tsis tuaj yeem kuaj tau, thiab yuav ua li cas coj mus kuaj tsis tau kuaj, "West hais, ntxiv, "Peb yuav tsis nkag siab. yuav ua li cas tib neeg tswj kev txav hauv kuv lub neej. "
Yuav kom ua tiav, West hais tias nws yuav tsum ua tib zoo ua ib kauj ruam ntawm ib lub sijhawm.
“Cov lus nug me me uas kuv tuaj yeem nug yog dab tsi? Cov lus nug uas twb tau nug yog dab tsi, thiab peb tuaj yeem tsim kho li cas? Qhov ntawd yog thaum txoj haujlwm ua haujlwm tsawg dua, ”nws hais.
Thaum lub Cuaj Hlis, West yuav pib kev sib raug zoo nrog cov MIT thiab Accenture Convergence Initiative rau Kev Lag Luam thiab Tshuab. Cia siab tias yuav txhawb nqa thiab pab txhawb kev sib cuam tshuam ntawm thev naus laus zis thiab kev lag luam, lub tuam txhab xaiv tsib tus neeg sib tw MIT-Accenture txhua xyoo.
"Yuav ua li cas lawv tab tom nrhiav yog ib tus neeg uas nws tshawb fawb yog kev txhais lus, uas tuaj yeem muaj kev cuam tshuam hauv kev lag luam," West hais. "Nws tau cog lus tias lawv txaus siab rau qhov tseem ceeb, kev tshawb fawb tseem ceeb uas kuv tab tom ua. Kuv tseem tsis tau ua haujlwm rau sab txhais lus tseem. Nws yog ib yam uas kuv xav tau rau tom qab kawm tiav. "
Thaum tau txais kev sib raug zoo muaj npe thiab ua kom muaj kev sib raug zoo ntawm tib neeg-neeg hlau hauv kev saib xyuas kev noj qab haus huv, West tseem yog tus txiv neej pw tsaug zog heev uas "poob rau" engineering. Nws nrhiav sijhawm los ntsib cov phooj ywg nyob rau hnub so, coj rugby ua ib tus menyuam kawm tiav, thiab muaj kev sib raug zoo nrog nws tus fiancée, nrog rau hnub tshoob teem rau lub caij ntuj sov tom ntej.
Nug seb nws yuav ntuas nws cov tub ntxhais kawm yav tom ntej li cas thaum lawv mus txog kev ua haujlwm nyuaj, nws muaj lus teb rau qhov xav tau.
“Tsis txhob ntshai thov kev pab. Ib txwm yuav muaj ib tug neeg uas zoo dua ntawm ib yam dab tsi tshaj koj, thiab qhov ntawd yog qhov zoo. Yog tsis muaj, lub neej yuav dhuav me ntsis. "
