My research as a post-doctoral instructor
and researcher at Caltech focuses on brain-machine interface technology
for applications such as neural prosthetics. I am currently developing
a novel "smart" neural recording device with movable electrodes.
My graduate work at Stanford included
research into haptic technology, novel manufacturing techniques, and
biomimetic robots.
I developed with colleagues the Sprawl family of robots, some of the
fastest and most robust running hexapods ever constructed. My thesis
focused on stability and performance in open-loop running.
