About.

I'm a robotics engineer finishing an MSc in Human and Biological Robotics at Imperial College London, where I was a Presidential Scholar. My thesis strapped two robot arms to a person's back and asked them to hold still in the room while that person walked. More on that here.

I came to robotics from mechanical engineering.

Next I want to work on robots that learn from people and still behave when the hardware disagrees with the model. I like working in person, close to the robot and the team.

Languages: English and Italian (fluent), Igbo (learning).
