Sustainability Robotics — Fundamentals and Applications
EPFL — School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC) · Co-developer, lecturer · with Prof. Mirko Kovac
Co-developed graduate-level, project-based course material and curriculum for this new EPFL course. Students learn robotics foundations alongside applications in agriculture, environmental preservation, and infrastructure maintenance, using emerging approaches in robotics.
The course is aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: it fosters environmentally responsible innovation for climate and conservation, supports interdisciplinary collaboration among engineers, environmental scientists, and policymakers, and builds skills to communicate advances in sustainability robotics to local communities.

EGR 598 Mechatronics Device Innovation
Arizona State University · Lecturer & instructor · in collaboration with clinicians at the Barrow Neurological Institute
Project-based graduate course taught with 5 student groups (25 students in total) developing assistive and rehabilitative soft wearable robots. The course led to four medical-based U.S. utility patent applications in wearable/rehabilitative devices.
Mentoring
I have mentored students across Arizona State University, Imperial College London, EPFL, TUM, and ETH Zurich / Empa, contributing to their successful graduations and co-authoring more than 25 papers and 8 patents with them.
