biography

Originally from Martinique, I came to the UK at a young age for my studies. I completed my MEng in Mechatronics and Robotic engineering at the University of Sheffield and based my dissertation on developing an E-glove for use during hand rehabilitation therapy. My research inspired me to continue development in medical devices and led me to apply for the CDT in P&O.

My PhD research will cover aspects of actuation, intelligent systems, and user intent.

My hobbies include painting, board games, tabletop RPGs (specifically Pathfinder 2E), and keeping up with my favourite shows.
