My research interests
are in human-machine interaction, haptics, human motor control, and
movement performance and training. My work uses robotic systems to study
how people control and adapt their movement, and in turn, uses a
fundamental understanding of human behavior to inform the design of
haptic feedback for improved human-machine physical interaction. My
graduate work at Johns Hopkins University and Stanford University
focused on exploring these ideas in physical rehabilitation and surgical
applications. My postdoctoral work at Delft University of
Technology explores other applications, including deep-sea mining.

What is haptics?
Haptics refers to our sense of touch, which we can incorporate into
devices/machines to improve interaction between us and our
technology. At the Medisch Interfacultair Congres 2016 (Utrecht, The
Netherlands), I discussed the importance of haptics and its potential
for robot-assisted surgery, along with ethical questions that come along
with advanced technology.
