I'm Fatemeh. I graduated my PhD in Robotics from Arizona State University in 2023. I was honored to be advised by Dr. Hyunglae Lee. I have 8+ years of experience in research on impedance/force control, robot kinematics and dynamics, advanced control theories, robotic manipulation, optimization and estimation, mathematical modeling, machine learning, and statistical analysis. My experties lies in designing and implementing Human in the Loop optimization algorithms, as well as developing user adaptive variable impedance controls based on human bio-mechanics. I have hands-on experience working with various robots, sensors and platforms and have successfully integrated software and hardware components.

My main interests are robotics, control, impedance/force control, physical human-robot interaction, robot manipulation, and machine learning. I have also contributed to multiple publications and presentations in the field of robotics and control. I am passionate about developing innovative and effective solutions that enhance human-robot collaboration and improve human well-being.

Skill set: Robotics; Impedance/force control; Mathematical modeling; Advanced Control; Numerical methods and Optimization; Bayesian Optimization; Gaussian Processes; Machine learning libraries (scikit learn, GPy, Keras, PyTorch, etc.); Coding in Python, C++, MATLAB; Integration of software and hardware; Hand on experience with robots; Solution and implementation skills; Problem Identification; Presentation skills; Conflict management and handling problems; Analyzing and contributing results; Leadership and teamwork.
