Ph.D. Candidate in Mechanical Engineering
Université Laval · Québec, Canada
Expected graduation: 2026
I design parallel robots that achieve what was previously considered impossible: unlimited rotation with integrated grasping.
Working at the intersection of mechanism theory, screw-based kinematics, and geometric analysis to create manipulators for manufacturing, surgery, and human-robot interaction.
