Berkeley Robotics and Human Engineering Laboratory

I am currently a Mechanical Engineering PhD Candidate at University of California, Berkeley, working in the Human Engineering Laboratory. My current work includes the development of autonomous, energetically passive knee orthosis. My research interest includes mechatronic systems, medical robotics, balance in the elderly, computer vision.... and so many more things

I joined Univeristy of California, Berkeley's Human Engineering Lab(HEL) as an undergrad. Under the mentorship of Professor Kazerooni and graduate students, I worked on developing a low friction, low sticktion linear hydraulic actuator for a semi-active electro hydraulic prosthetic knee. This work was also patented .

In 2008, I joined the laboratory as a graduate student. Along with Andrew Hurwich, I designed a semi-active knee ankle prosthesis, which became the work for our Masters' Thesis.

After my Master's work, I became part of an incredible team along side Wayne Tung, Michael Mckinley and Dr. Jason Reid to develop a underactuated medical exoskeleton to enble, people with paralysis to walk called the AUSTIN

More recently I have worked on dynamics analysis and modelling of a balancing device to improve the balance of the elderly and others with balance deficits.
