I am a researcher in medical robotics, focussing on rehabilitation and assistive robotics, human-machine interfaces and interaction and applied machine learning. Currently, I lead the Assistive Intelligent Robotics Group at FAU and keep a part-time position as senior researcher at the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics of the German Aerospace Center. My main interest lies in the proper design and translation of integrated rehabilitation and assistive solutions for patients of musculoskeletal degenerative conditions, sufferers of limb absence and elderly people needing semi-autonomous care.

Research Projects

  • Investigating advanced sensors and sensing modalities for intent detection
  • Investigating techniques to provide sensory feedback to users of rehabilitation and assistive devices
  • Strategies to shape the interaction and user experience
  • Theoretical machine learning and psychology – two sides of the same coin!

  • AutoAssist: Interaktive Künstliche Intelligenz und Einschätzung des Muskeltonus
