Research Interests

I am interested in the design and development of robotic and mechatronic systems that improve efficiency, safety, and quality of life. I enjoy exploring applications that integrate automation, sensors, and human-machine interaction, particularly in settings where autonomous systems can enhance safety or support learning. My goal is to contribute to projects that combine mechanical design with robotics and Industry 4.0 technologies.
