Windle earned her master’s at Duke University and is a former student of David Johnston, director of the robotics lab and associate professor of the practice of marine conservation and ecology in Duke’s Nicholas School of the Environment.
The Marine Robotics and Remote Sensing Laboratory, or MaRRS, based at the Duke University Marine Lab in Beaufort, opened in August 2015 as a center to promote interdisciplinary research using drones and other small robotics. The lab works with researchers and students from multiple universities in addition to providing expertise for client projects.
