Sihan Wang DPhil

Sihan joined Oxford Robotics Institute in 2020 as a DPhil student, under the supervision of Perla Maiolino at the Soft Robotics Lab. He took his undergraduate in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bristol, then completed his MSc in Human and Biological Robotics at Imperial College London. His undergraduate project focused on the adaptive control of robotic manipulators with unknown kinematics and dynamics, while his MSc project focused on motion planning with a bipedal robot. Sihan's current DPhil study concentrates on the development of 3D-printed soft-matter computation systems for soft fluid-driven robots.
