Research Projects
My research focuses on developing scalable tactile sensing systems, to acquire high-resolution tactile data over large areas with high-speed. I work generally in robotics, prosthetics, and wearable devices. I have also worked on wavelet analysis and sensory feedback. My Google Scholar Page is here.
