About me

I am currently a PhD student co-supervised between the Advanced Robotics Group at Queen Mary University of London (with Dr. Ildar Farkhatdinov) and the Human Robotics Group at Imperial College London. My research focuses on the neuromechanics of bimanual coordination and effort sharing among the two hands, as well as on gamification methods to promote the use of one hand and how these could be used in rehabilitation settings. My research interests include neuroscience, human-robot interaction, virtual reality and gamification.
