I am currently working at Swiss Cobotics Competence Center as Innovation Manager. I received my Ph.D. degree in robotics from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and Idiap Research Institute supervised by Dr. Sylvain Calinon.I worked in EU-Horizon2020 projects CoLLaboratE and IMAGINE. My research focuses on optimization and active iterative refinement of feedback and feedforward control policies for acquiring robust and anticipatory robot skills from demonstration. You can download my CV here.
Fast replanning and adaptation strategies in feedback control and path optimization.
Iterative refinement of skills using information-density approaches in learning from demonstration.
Teaching generalizable skills executed in combination with feedback controllers.
