Velkommen til Yitaeks hjemmeside!
I am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher in the Christtofer group at SDU Robotics.
I received a Ph.D. in robotics from SDU Robotics in 2024. During the PhD journey, I worked with Universal Robots (UR) to solve the challenges of robotic polishing. In addition, I was a visiting student researcher at the Ames’ group, AMBER LAB, California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in 2023 and worked on safety guaratees in input-delayed systems.
Currently, my research topic revolves around safety-critical systems and in-hand manipulation with a multi-finger robotic hand (Shadow Robot).
