CONTACT (me)


My research interests include medical robotics, haptic interface design, computer imaging and simulation. I also co-teach the Experimental Haptics class with Prof. Ken Salibury and Federico Barbagli. I am also actively involved in the development of the open source haptics framework CHAI 3D

In recent years I have also conducted a number of product developments in the area of haptic interface design and robotic systems which are used today in the medical, aerospace and entertainment fields. A selection of these systems are currently manufactured and commercialized by Force Dimension, a company which I co-founded in 2001.
