Publications
I have authored and co-authord more than a dozen publications including several that are currently in progress. I publish primarily in venues related to Human-Computer Interaction, Interfaces, and Robotics. I am also co-authoring the world's first textook on Soft Robotics with an international team of pioneers in the field led by Prof. Thrishantha Nanayakkara, which will be published by Springer Nature in 2024.
