Why did you get into your field of study?

“My favorite aspect of Human-Robot Interaction is that it is a highly multidisciplinary field at the intersection of mechanical, electrical and computer engineering, as well as physical therapy, human biomechanics and kinesiology. Through advances in rehabilitation engineering, we can improve the quality and accessibility of patient care and leverage technology to facilitate therapy with robots.”

What is your proudest accomplishment?

“By the age of thirty, I had achieved my longstanding goal of becoming a faculty member in academia.”
