I am a researcher in the fields of computation neuroscience, human-computer interaction and robotics. My interests are primarily in understanding how humans control their arms to do functional tasks from basic movements like reaching for a cup, to skilled movements such as carving. This knowledge is used to develop novel algorithms for robots that can intuitively interact with humans and their surroundings.
