Through fundamental advances in numerical simulation and motion control algorithms, my research bridges the fields of robotics, visual computing and computational fabrication. Applications of my work range from studying the principles of dexterous manipulation and legged locomotion to computation-driven design for new breeds of bioinspired robots.
I am the recipient of an Alain Fournier Ph.D. Dissertation Award, an Intel Early Career Faculty Award, a Research Initiation Award by the US National Science Foundation, and in 2020 I was awarded an ERC Consolidator grant.
