I conduct research on laboratory automation in materials science by applying mechatronics and robotics. My work focuses on developing experimental methodologies and autonomous systems that enable highly reproducible and precisely controlled processes, especially in experimental environments that are difficult to handle manually. In particular, I specialize in robotic experimental systems for powder grinding, mixing, and mechanochemical reactions.
