Pursue independent robotics research across soft and biohybrid robots, locomotion, manipulation, perception, human–robot interaction and computational design. The fellowship includes opportunities to develop learning methods on real hardware and mentor students.

Develop industrial robots for manufacturing, including welding, bonding, drilling and manipulation. The work combines robot control and motion planning with sensor integration, metrology and automated data collection, and includes experiments to improve accuracy and process quality.

Is working memory (WM) a unitary construct or is it composed of separable sub-processes with distinct neuroanatomical bases? In line with this latter view, (i) psychiatric and neurological patients often display subtle deficits in specific aspects of WM, and (ii) neurophysiological evidence indicates that WM engages a wide network of regions throughout the brain.To address this question, we designed a WM battery that required participants to maintain the colors and locations of multiple discs over a brief memory delay and report the location of the cued disc. By varying the number of discs to
