Dr Jelizaveta Konstantinova
Prof Eng, PhD

Postdoctoral Research Assistant at The Centre for Advanced Robotics (ARQ)
My current research involves sensor development, tactile perception, sensory data fusion and learning methods for robotics. My research focus is on the perception of the world via somatosensory system. I am interested to learn the perception capabilities from living organisms and to apply it to robotics, as well as to study the ways we should interpret tactile information obtained with robotic sensory system.

Dr Stephen Thorpe
BA, BAI, PDipStat, PhD, FHEA

Researcher Co-Investigator
I implement a range of engineering, biophysics and molecular biology techniques to probe cellular responses to biophysical signals. In addition to enhancing our understanding of cell mechanobiology, my research looks to leverage this understanding to develop cartilage and bone regenerative medicine strategies, and address the aberrant mechanobiology associated with one of the most lethal cancers, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
