Summary
Biography
Mr. Charalambos Hadjipanayi is a second-year research (Ph.D.) postgraduate student in Next Generation Neural Interfaces (NGNI) Lab at Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Imperial College London. His PhD project explores the use of Ultra-Wideband (UWB) radars for motion analysis of dementia patients.
He received his MEng Biomedical Engineering degree with Electrical Engineering specialisation with First Class honours from the Department of Bioengineering, Imperial College London in 2020.
His MEng project aimed at developing an external portable system to improve the control performance of a powered lower-limb exoskeleton for the 2020 Cybathlon competition. This was achieved through the development of a foot pressure sensing system providing additional sensor information to exoskeleton motion controller based on plantar pressure measurements, specifically the center of pressure (CoP) shift of the body, and intuitive haptic feedback to the user, based on the plantar pressure measurements.
