Research Experience
  • Prior to joining Imperial, he conducted robotics research at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, Yale University, Bristol Robotics Laboratory, the Joint European Torus (JET), and The University of Reading.
Background
  • His main research focus is on robot manipulation, where he takes inspiration from biological systems to develop new robotic hand hardware, sensing and control approaches. He also conducts research in upper-limb prosthetics, human hand function, and handheld shape-changing haptic interfaces. The latter topic is primarily related to providing non-visual navigation assistance to pedestrians.
