About Me

At the Widener Robotics Lab, my current research and teaching activities are centered around Robotics, Real-Time Simulation, Virtual Reality, Human-Robot Interactions, Human Gate Analysis With a strong emphasis on practical applications and cutting-edge technologies, my work aims to push the boundaries of the field. I have an extensive publication record, with nearly 50 academic papers published in renowned journals and peer-reviewed conferences. Additionally, I hold three patents that showcase my contributions to innovative solutions in robotics. 

In addition to my role at Widener University, I also collaborate with international institutions and companies, fostering valuable partnerships and interdisciplinary research. As a research fellow at Wichita State University and a research project manager at BRP-Rotax, I contribute to advancements in Mobile Manufacturing Robotics (MMR), real-time ultra-high-speed monitoring, and human body real-time monitoring. Over the past two decades, I have served as a Project Manager, leading various projects and staying at the forefront of the field. I actively engage with professional organizations like ASME and IEEE to stay up-to-date with the latest advancements.
