I am a Ph.D. researcher at imec and the Brussels Human Robotics Research Center of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. I am developing an electronic skin for collaborative robots, also known as CoBots, that senses the surrounding and ensures that the operator stays safe and is not injured by the CoBot when working in close proximity. I am based out of the AI Experience Centre & Artificial Intelligence Lab Brussels.
In October 2020 I graduated with a Masters in Electrical and Electronics Engineering with Management from Imperial College London. Formy Master, I designed a functional prototype of a smart dental storage case called CLEANR, to improve patient adherence, hygiene and outcomes.
During my time at Imperial, I worked on several interdisciplinary projects:
Quaestio: a survey robot aimed to explore the possibilities of improving survey participation through the utilisation of robot-human interaction.
FLEET: a drone attachment designed to drastically cut-down Emergency Medical Services' (EMS) response times which won the prize for the best second-year project at Imperial in 2018.
Slink: a personal trainer that brings an immersive home fitness studio with vast selections of workouts.
I also took the opportunity to teach the Engineering Design and Practice course to a cohort of 180 students at the EEE department of Imperial.
In (2020), I was working at Siemens Mobility in New York City for 6 months, where I led the Robot Process Automation (RPA) efforts and project implementation of the project management group in the USA and supported the undertaking in the Communication-Based Train Control Lab.
I worked in venture capital for Lunar Ventures Berlin and Embryo Ventures London supporting due-diligence and startups in product, business development and growth strategy.
