Academic Achievements
  • Selected publications include 'Grasping a Handful: Sequential Multi-Object Dexterous Grasp Generation' (arXiv, 2025), 'Cloth-Splatting: 3D State Estimation from RGB Supervision for Deformable Objects' (8th Annual Conference on Robot Learning, 2024), etc.
Research Experience
  • Postdoctoral researcher from 2022-2025 with Danica Kragic in the Robotics, Perception and Learning Lab (RPL) at KTH, Stockholm, Sweden; Assistant Professor (tenure track) in Robotics and Machine Learning at the University of Turku since 2025.
Education
  • Ph.D.: Intelligent Robotics group at Aalto University, Finland, supervised by Prof. Ville Kyrki and Ph.D. Francesco Verdoja; Master's degree: Space Science and Technology, Aalto University; Bachelor's degree: Automation and Systems Technology, Aalto University.
Background
  • Research interests: Enabling robots to grasp and manipulate objects in uncertain and cluttered environments. Combines deep learning, probabilistic reasoning, and tactile perception to build robust manipulation systems.
Miscellany
  • Open to collaborating with PhD students or supervising Master’s thesis projects in areas such as 6-DoF grasp generation, manipulation of cluttered or deformable objects, visuo-haptic perception.
