Summary
A better description of my activity is at http://www.imperial.ac.uk/human-robotics.
My main interest is in human-machine interaction. With my group, we use an approach integrating neuroscience and robotics to: i) investigate human motor control and ii) design efficient assistive devices and virtual reality based training for rehabilitation and surgery. A complementary goal is to use current robotics to create novel bioengineering techniques. This approach has generated promising projects and significant results in various areas from computational neuroscience to medical robotics, neural engineering and tissue engineering.
Please contact me if you have any query, are interested to collaborate or to co-develop an idea or a product. It always is possible to find a solution for exceptional students and ideas.
