About me
I am a PhD student at Queen Mary University of London, School of Engineering and Materials Science. I am a member of Advanced Robotics at Queen Mary group (ARQ) led by prof. Kaspar Althoefer.
My research focuses on soft robotics, in particular on soft actuation.
Simultaneously I am a Robotics Research Engineer in Ocado Technology where we work on novel and groundbreaking robotic solutions!
