I am a post-doctoral researcher in the Surgical Robot Vision group. The aim of my research is to employ soft robotics technologies to develop more interactive and perceptive medical devices and robotic systems.
My previous research focused on the design and control of soft and continuum robots. During my PhD studies I developed a soft robot for medical ultrasound, which I have validated in a clinical volunteer study as part of the iFind project. I’ve also been involved in the design of a soft robotic endoscope for lower GI screening and conducted research for Siemens Healthineers in Princeton, USA, in robot-assisted catheter steering as well as for the European Space Agency in biomechanics simulation for astronaut rehabilitation.
As part of my MSc in Robotics at King’s College London I developed a hydraulic soft robotic system for which I received, amongst other awards, the Mechatronics Engineering Student of the Year Prize of the UK Institution of Mechanical Engineers. I received my BSc in Medical and Sports Medical Engineering from Koblenz University of Applied Sciences, Germany.
