Academic Achievements
- Together with his colleagues, he has received paper awards at ICRA2002, CLAWAR2005, IEEE Humanoids 2007, IEEE ROMAN 2014, CLAWAR 2015, SAB2018, and CLAWAR 2019. He is an IEEE Fellow, member of the Board of Reviewing Editors of Science magazine, and associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Medical Robotics and Bionics and for the International Journal of Humanoid Robotics. He has acted as an associate editor for several journals and has organized seven international conferences.
Research Experience
- He carried out postdoctoral research at IDSIA, EPFL, and the University of Southern California (USC), then became a research assistant professor at USC and an external collaborator at ATR (Advanced Telecommunications Research institute) in Japan. In 2002, he returned to EPFL as an SNF assistant professor, was promoted to associate professor in October 2009, and to full professor in April 2016.
Education
- He obtained a B.Sc./M.Sc. in physics from EPFL in 1995 and a PhD in artificial intelligence from the University of Edinburgh in 1999.
Background
- His research interests lie at the intersection of robotics, computational neuroscience, nonlinear dynamical systems, and applied machine learning. He aims to better understand animal locomotion and movement control through numerical simulations and robots, and to design new types of robots and locomotion controllers inspired by biology. He also investigates how to assist people with limited mobility using exoskeletons and assistive furniture.
Miscellany
- He gave a TED talk at TED Global Geneva on December 8, 2015.
