Background
- A Henslow Junior Research Fellow (JRF) in robotics at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge. Most of my days are spent building tactile sensors and artificial skins in Cambridge’s Bio-Inspired Robotics Laboratory, where I am an affiliated lecturer and hold an EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellowship. Interests include mechatronics & soft robotics, tactile perception & artificial skins, medical automation, additive manufacturing, and large-scale experimentation.
Miscellany
- In my spare time, I enjoy playing badminton and tennis, and I’m a member of the world-famous Magic Circle.
