Biography
Zhenishbek is a postdoctoral researcher, whose work focuses on the design and control of novel soft haptic interfaces for human-machine interactions. His PhD research was on the ground-up design and fabrication methodologies for origami-inspired autonomous and reconfigurable robots (Robogamis), smart material-based actuators and mechanisms, and their control. Prior to joining RRL, he was with Micromechatronics Laboratory at Sabanci University in Turkey, where he obtained his Master's degree in Mechatronics Engineering. His Master research was on high precision control of piezo-walker actuators, design of a nano-meter precision positioning stage and a desktop microfactory.
