I've moved to a new position as a lecturer in the UK. Find me here

I'm an aerospace engineer and roboticist with an enthusiasm for unconventional mechatronics, who has come to MPI-IS on a Humboldt Fellowship to work on a set of miniature robots paired with new biomechanics data from nature. These bioinspired robots will be used to explore some of the most challenging behaviors in the natural world, including climbing, gliding and other arboreal acrobatics.

I received my Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Cambridge and my PhD in Aeronautics from Imperial College London, where my thesis on Aerial-Aquatic locomotion won the ‘Best UK PhD in Robotics Award’. Before moving to Germany I was the engineering lead in an ESA-funded startup, developing a unique agricultural robot, while also conducting part-time research on multirotor aircraft at Imperial College
