Research interests
Reseach interests: 3D-printing, digital manufacturing and rapid prototyping; bio-inspired artificial life, intelligence and robotics, computer and robot vision; laboratory automation and robot integration with life sciences.
Research question: Life appeared on planet Earth around 4 billion of years ago, during a process known as abiogenesis or the Origin of Life. My research studies how did this happen, and aims to apply some of those processes into the design of bio-inspired robots. If we know that life happened already at least once, why cannot we use that knowledge to create artifial life?
