Robotics+
  • I am fascinated by the potential of robots to improve our lives by performing tasks that are too dangerous, too repetitive, or too complex for humans to do.
  • I am interested in the entire spectrum of robotics, from simple mobile robots to complex humanoid robots, and I have experience building and programming robots for various applications.
Assistive AI for life & games+
  • I believe that artificial intelligence has the potential to help people with disabilities and special needs to live more independent and fulfilling lives.
  • I am particularly interested in developing AI systems that can assist people with physical, cognitive, or sensory impairments in their daily activities, as well as optimizing lives for people without impairments, to amplify their abilities.
  • AI‑powered video games that can improve cognitive abilities and emotional well‑being are also interesting.
Adaptive VR / AR+
  • Virtual reality and augmented reality have the potential to transform the way we interact with our environment and each other.
  • I am interested in developing VR/AR experiences that can adapt to the user’s preferences, abilities, and context, to provide personalized and engaging experiences.
Simulated Environments+
  • I believe that simulation technology has the potential to help us better understand complex systems and make more informed decisions.
  • I am interested in developing simulation environments for various applications, such as urban planning, disaster response, training simulations, as well as for any fascinating problem or challenge to overcome, SPACE? OCEANS? THE VOID? EVERYTHING!
Self‑Driving Vehicles+
  • I am excited about the potential of autonomous vehicles to improve transportation safety, efficiency, and accessibility.
  • I am interested in developing the software and hardware systems that can enable self‑driving vehicles to navigate complex environments and interact with human drivers and pedestrians.
Computer Vision+
  • I am fascinated by the ability of computers to interpret and analyze visual information.
  • I am interested in developing computer vision systems for various applications, such as object recognition, facial recognition, and autonomous navigation.
Farming Tech+
  • I believe that technology can help us address the challenges of food security and sustainability.
  • I am interested in developing technology solutions for precision farming, such as sensors, drones, and machine learning algorithms, that can help farmers optimize crop yields while minimizing environmental impact.
Dream Science+
  • I am interested in the science of dreaming and its potential applications for mental health and personal growth.
  • I believe that understanding the mechanisms of dreaming can help us better understand the brain and develop new therapies for mental disorders.
Smart Cities+
  • I believe that technology can help us create more livable, sustainable, and equitable cities.
  • I am interested in developing smart city solutions that can optimize urban infrastructure, reduce environmental impact, and improve quality of life for all residents.
