Hopkins' CS

I don’t know about it being “an honor”: I’m a student, not a saint, ha. I’m not sure exactly what research is taking place in which building, especially given that Hopkins emphasizes interdisciplinary research so a lot of fields of research are dispersed throughout the campus. Beyond the new Malone Hall, there are other engineering buildings (Hackerman Hall, New Engineering Building, Barton, etc.) that also deal with various fields of engineering, CS, etc. I know that Hopkins undergrads were conducting research in underwater submersibles (the school has a huge water tank to simulate deep-sea environments), space probes (New Horizons was a media sensation) and I even had a friend who snatched a paid summer internship position working on robotics research with the Applied Physics Lab (the paid part is unusual). If I were you I would look online, find some professors or PhD students conducting research in robotics, read a paper or two that they’ve published and then contact them via email expressing interest in their research and the program in general. People love when you compliment their work and express interest in their efforts. They will provide you with the best information. Additionally, when you apply I would drop a few names and mention the research that is going on at the campus that you are interested in. Going above and beyond and contacting professors/grad students (just don’t pester them) is a great way to show your passion for a university to admissions and allows you to make an informed decision about your field of interest at a university. Overall, a quick google search will provide you more information than I ever could on current research and program opportunities: https://engineering.jhu.edu/fields-of-study/robotics/
