About Me

I am a researcher and PhD in robotics at the HVL Robotics group at Western Norway University of Applied Sciences. My work sits at the intersection of robotics, additive manufacturing, and intelligent sensing systems.

I am passionate about advancing robotic capabilities through novel mechanical design, flexible structures, and integration with IoT technologies. I collaborate closely with the Department of Robotics at VSB – Technical University of Ostrava in the Czech Republic, bridging international expertise to tackle real-world engineering challenges.

A particular strength of mine lies in the full development cycle — from concept and design through fabrication to hands-on testing. I enjoy bringing ideas to life as physical prototypes, not just in robotics but across engineering disciplines where 3D printing, mechatronics, and creative problem-solving intersect.
