Research

My research interests focus on the coordination of vision and upper limb movements in robotics and neuroscience.

After completing my PhD Thesis Visual neuroscience of robotic grasping, I am now working within the FP7 project Eyeshots on the integration of visual information, eye and arm movements in primates and robots.

The MRI image of my brain was obtained at the Lab of Jody Culham at UWO.
