Electrically driven, silent
electrohydrodynamic fiber pumps

I am a Ph.D. Research Assistant in Biohybrid Robotics at the Raman Lab and MIT Media Lab at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge. My research focuses on electrically-driven artificial muscles, compliant wearable robots, and musculoskeletal robotic systems.
