Joses Sorilla is a founding member of CANTELA. His parents are both in the field of engineering which led him to be curious about the subject and pursue it. Through a scholarship given by the school to excelling students from public schools, he was able to enter De La Salle University wherein he is currently taking a ladderized bachelor’s and master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. His background in robotics and research goes back to his high school years where he was a part of an investigatory project contest presenting his team’s research of wearable guides for blind people and won 2nd place.
