Biography
I am a PhD student affiliated to EPFL and working at the Idiap Research Institute under the supervision of Dr. Sylvain Calinon since August 2016. My research interests cover human-robot interactions and machine learning. I am interested in exploring new possibilities of intelligent systems, especially bio-inspired and mobile robots. I obtained a Bachelor in Microengineering (2014), a Master in Robotics and Autonomous Systems (2016) and a Minor in Computational Neurosciences (2016) from EPFL.My work focuses on extending regression methods to take into account the stucture and geometry of the data by exploiting tensor methods and Riemannian manifolds. I am part of the collaborative project TACT-HAND supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation. I use the developped regression methods to improve the control of prosthetic hands.
