Hi, I'm Artemis!

NSF Graduate Research Fellow · Robotics & Embedded Systems

I build sensing skins for robots, and the on-device AI that turns contact into response.

TACTILE SENSING EMBEDDED AI ASSISTIVE ROBOTICS HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION

About

I'm an NSF Graduate Research Fellow building tactile intelligence — the sensing and embedded AI that let robots feel contact and respond safely.

Focus: medical and assistive — prosthetics, wearables, and clinical robots that work alongside patients and caregivers.
Approach: touch and proximity sensing, physical reasoning, and inference that runs on the robot itself.

What I Work On

Where I'm Headed

Closing the Sensory Loop

Machines that touch the world rarely pass that touch back. I want to close that loop — conformable skins that turn real-time contact into feedback a person can actually feel, across prosthetics, teleoperation, and wearables that work in contact with the body.

Wearable Physiological Intelligence

Safe human augmentation — supernumerary limbs, exoskeletons, clinical robots — requires continuous on-body knowledge of the user’s physiological state. My goal: miniaturized, edge-deployed biosignal pipelines that let assistive systems adapt to the human in real time.
