CCA Fund Award: Hand Dexterity Unlocked
Received 50,000€ from the Aalto University CCA Fund for the project "Hand Dexterity Unlocked: The Complex Systems Behind Skillful Hand Movement," investigating the neural and biomechanical mechanisms underlying precise hand control.
Joined University of Jyväskylä as Postdoctoral Researcher
Started a new position as Postdoctoral Researcher in e-health and wearable sensing at the Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences, University of Jyväskylä. Working on quantifying physical activity using wearable sensors and developing the Porrastesti mobile app for remote fitness estimation.
Successfully Defended PhD Thesis
Defended my doctoral dissertation "Sensitivity of High-Fidelity Neural Interfaces to Perturbations" at Aalto University School of Electrical Engineering. The thesis investigates how reliable non-invasive neural interfaces based on high-density surface EMG and motor-unit decoding are when real-world disturbances occur.
PhD Dissertation Grant Awarded
Received a dissertation grant for the PhD research project "Estimation of Neural Drive for Robust Human-Machine Interfacing", supporting the development of robust algorithms for motor unit decomposition and neural interface applications.
Presented at EMBC 2022 in Glasgow, UK
Presented research on "Muscle Synergy-driven Motor Unit Clustering for Human-Machine Interfacing" at the 44th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC) held at the Scottish Event Campus in Glasgow, United Kingdom.
