Research project title: 
Design, Control & Evaluation of Wearable Robots
Principal goal for project: 
Use optimisation-based techniques to improve the control and design of assistive robots. Implement a framework for the quantitative evaluation of such devices using musculoskeletal models to simulate the dynamic interaction between robot and user.

About me: 

I am a final year PhD student in the Centre for Doctoral Training in Robotics and Autonomous Systems run jointly by the University of Edinburgh and Heriot-Watt University. My home institution is the University of Edinburgh. I am working on human-exoskeleton systems under the supervision of Prof Sethu Vijayakumar.  

I hold an MMath in Mathematics from the University of St Andrews and an MScRes in Robotics and Autonomous Systems from the first year of the CDT programme.
