Academic Achievements
  • Research has applications across many fields such as robot-assisted surgery, simulation and training, rehabilitation, exploration of hazardous or remote environments, enabling technologies, manufacturing, design, mobile computing, and education.
Research Experience
  • Involved in designing and studying haptic systems using both analytical and experimental approaches. Research areas include but are not limited to: devices and control systems for teleoperation, touch-based interaction technologies in virtual environments, and robots that can physically manipulate their environment or shape.
Background
  • Devoted to developing the principles and tools needed to realize advanced robotic and human-machine systems capable of haptic interaction. Particularly interested in: teleoperation, virtual environments, and robotic manipulation.
Miscellany
  • Part of the Design and Biomechanics Groups within the Mechanical Engineering Department at Stanford University, and also a part of the Center for Design Research.
