Currently Associate Professor in Industrial Automation, Mechatronics and Control Engineering in the School of Engineering and Informatics, I am within the Department of Engineering and Design, and I am a member of the Robotics and Mechatronics Systems Research Group. I received my PhD degree in Control Engineering from the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées (INSA) de Lyon, Université de Lyon, Lyon, France in 2016. I also hold an M.Eng. degree in Mechanical Engineering and an M.Sc. in Mechatronics from Polytech Annecy Chambéry, Annecy, France. From 2016 to 2020, I have been working on two EPSRC-funded projects for medical robotics at The University of Sheffield, Imperial College London, and King's College London. Before my PhD degree, I worked for 18 months for 2 French start-ups where I used to design Mechatronic solutions for industrial applications.

My research interests are focused on the development of new technologies for Robotic Systems. I am particularly interested in Mechatronics Design and Control Engineering for compliant and soft robots. I aim to address the scientific challenges that limit Human-Robot or Robot-Environment interactions. My research is applied in various application fields such as industrial robotics, biomedical, and nuclear decommissioning.
