As a Master’s student, I began my research journey on Pneumatic Artificial Muscles (PAMs) for Rehabilitation under the supervision of Dr. Donal Holland, founder of the renowned Soft Robotics Toolkit at Harvard. Concurrently, I collaborated with Dr. Hao on my second Master’s project, focusing on nano-compliant positioning stages within the CoMAR group at UCC. In 2019, I joined DEFROST, the primary contributor to the renowned SOFA Framework for modeling soft robots, as a PhD candidate. My research shifted to theoretical studies on deformable robotic systems, encompassing the design, modeling, and control of soft robots, continuum robots, compliant mechanisms, and more.
