I am an Assistant Professor in the department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science (EECS) at University of Tennessee (UTK). I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Advanced Robotics and Controls Lab at the UCSD with Prof. Michael Yip. Before this, I conducted research at the Biorobotics Institute with Prof. Filippo Cavallo and at the Center for Bioinspired Soft Robotics at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), Italy. My Ph.D. was completed at INSA de Lyon (University of Lyon) in France, under the guidance of Prof. Arnaud Lelevé. My research interests lie at the intersection of robotics, autonomous systems, and computational AI, with a particular focus on applications in surgical, biomedical and manufacturing environments.
