Curriculum Vitae
Research Interests
I design and build wearable and hardware systems that restore and augment human movement, working across actuation and control, embedded sensing, and digital fabrication. I prototype real hardware and evaluate it with the people it is built for. I want to extend this toward assistive and rehabilitation robotics and exoskeletons, and toward closing the loop between neural intent and adaptive physical assistance.
