Short biography:

I finished my studies in Electronics Engineering at the National University of Colombia in 2016. Afterwards, I pursued a Master of Science in "Robotics, Cognition, & Intelligence" from TUM, finishing in 2020 with my thesis on "Developing a Wearable Upper-limb Elbow Function Exoskeleton for Neurorehabilitation Using Robotic Skin".

Since January 2021 I have started working as a doctoral candidate at the Institute of Cognitive Systems. My main research interest is upper-limb rehabilitation exoskeletons to support patients with neurological disorders.

Interests:

  • Upper-Limb Wearable Exoskeletons
  • Motor Recovery through neural plasticity
  • Serious games for rehabilitation
  • Human-Centered rehabilitation robotics.
