Research Interest
My research interests are in the design, system dynamics, and control of robotic systems with applications to rehabilitation, medical intervention, and human-centered machine. I focus on developing new methods of synthesis, analysis, and optimization of novel robots and mechanism, as well as control principles. In addition, I also like to leverage the design and control knowledge, together with medical science and innovative design to create novel robotic solutions to address fundamental clinical questions, overcome limitations of existing medical devices, as well as enable new medical treatment. Ultimately, I hope to provide profound impacts in the quality of life of patients through technologies.
